Time to replace my old Evinrude. Sigh...... Looking at a 4-stroke for a 25
foot cruiser. I'm not a racer so weight is not a critical factor. Looking
at
an 8 or 9 hp with electric start. Any opinions on Honda vs Nissan vs
Yamaha?

I had a Johnson 8hp Sailmaster with a 25" shaft on my previous boat. No
problems.
