Good day all!
As my boating project evolves so has my engine choice. I will be powering a 2018 Princecraft Yukon 20” transom. As funds have a limit new 4 strokes are unlikely due to cost and weight.
I have two 2-stroke engines on the line; mid 90’s Yamaha 25hp electric start tiller 20” and a 2013 Merc 25 hp manual start tiller 20”. Pricing is about the same on them. What are your thoughts on the better motor? I have heard rumors of an ability to upgrade the Merc to a 30 hp with a restrictor plate swap which has appeal given my boat mods will add a little weight. That being said feedback on who has done it and their review of it may help.
I welcome your thoughts on this. Thank you in advance.
