I decided not to go with the 115 horse Evinrude but I can get a 25 horse for a pretty good price will that move my 24 foot pontoon around sufficiently I am not looking for speed and will mostly only be on calm water thank you

a trolling motor will move it, however yes. your 25hp will move it just fine. about the same speed as a 50hp since your at displacement speed.

You can always go for a prop maximization tu pull wot revs up as usually loaded towards max wot rpm range factory stated to get the most out of a kicker on a heavy boat. Will need a induction tach for that...

Happy Boating
