I don't what your budget is.  ie, going newer (which are very pricey) or if you consider something that is older that was stored much of its life. 

I have the latter.  Although mine is a 30hp, which weighs the same as a 25hp as far as I know.  Runs like a top, all day.  Bomb proof mid-80's vintage.

Only reason I am looking to sell as I need to go to a 4 stroke to fish some of the lakes I visit in Washington State (where they have restricted 2 strokes).  I prefer the power and weight of a 2 stroke, but will need to sell my motor to move to a 4 stroke.

One thing to note, 20hp+ short shafts can be hard to find, but if you find a deal on one, you may want to consider one of those plates that 'raise' your transom.

Damien - what kind of price were you thinking ?

Sounds like a good motor to turn into a little jet prop for my Jon boat.....

It is sweet.  I am not a haggler, a few others have emailed me about it and the price will stay consistent as I am not a rush to sell.  And it will go fast come spring.

I'm out on the water around Fort Langley on the river, Alouette, Crescent Beach, Pitt etc most weekends if anyone wants to see it in action I can post when and where I will be.

I take this motor as my only source of power everywhere, I have no concerns with its reliability.

My price is $1300 - firm, final and as far as I know, very fair.

Looks just like this;
