Re: Is there much power in a 25hp outboard?
Being that you're in Ireland, you're not likely to have the USCG (United States Coast Guard) plate, but probably some other sort of governing body or manufacturer's plate that contains the recommended power. (Sorry, I got a chuckle out of that...)<br /><br />In any case, you should really look for something a bit larger in the motor department. Don't be afraid of a nicely cared for used motor, as I would often take a 20-year old well-maintained motor over a 3-year old motor that has been abused. You might be able to get a good older motor to tide you over for a few years until you can afford something newer...<br />- Scott
