Kingfisher Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My brother-in-law sold his 15 hp, 2 stroke and wants to replace it with a 4 stroke with more power and speed. Will a 20 hp 4 stroke work? I think he should go for a 25 hp, 4 stroke, what is your opinions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wplatehunter Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I would always get the biggest motor you can. You will really like the 4-stroke motors. Yamaha makes a very nice 4-stroke, but I'm sure other brands are good to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine_man Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I agree with all of the above posts.. especially given that going to a 4 stroke is going to add more weight, and smaller boats are more sensitive to weight changes that larger boats are.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks guy's for all your input. He just called me from Billings saying he went for a new 25 hp 2 cycle E-start Yammy, that will give him quite a positive change on his 14.5' boat.

marine_man Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It's pretty tough to beat that motor as well... good choice!marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
