Re: 25 Yam, was also able to get our West Marine Rib5 on plane w 4 people, no prob; just as a test. Our dinghy works best as a 2.seater, too crowded w 4

LOVE my 2008 Yam 25 2.strk !! Seems like good price on yours, but not up on pricing. My Yammer has been trble.free, burn only non-oxy 91, NEVER cheap out and buy the low.grade ethanol crap! With the money you save you can put on a SS prop, $250. Like mine alot. Go for the Yamaha !!

Nice shade of blue, and black is always best color choice for bottom. SHARP looking boat! Enjoy! Pelican

Wow, quite the info. Thank you very much for the detailed info.

Thanks for info. Always more helpful to know a sold price vs an asking price.

Thanks for info,

WOW !! Seventeen years !! Guess the engines are worth a gamble. THANKS !!

Thanks, also wondering about resale $value of engines...best guesses? Not my intention, but at odds w owners valuation. Volvo Penta inline 6 cyl. 220 hp - 700 hrs ? Model AD41P-A

Thank you very much for all the valuable info. Ive learned a lot in one afternoon. I do not own this boat, but am trying to discern how problematic engines could be. Will not get to run engines, and am worried what steps, or lack of, current owner would take. Thank You again to everyone for...

Good idea, thanks. This is a project houseboat, basically just a hull and engines. Have heard 2 wide-ranging valuations on engines. Anybody else with guesstimates... '94 Volvo 6 cyl, not run in 4 yrs. Doubt it was run much before. Was a liveaboard floater. Will get engine model info when i get home.

Thanks.

Volvo Penta, inline 6, do not have model # with me. 1994 boat.

Thanks, Yes it is in MN. Wondering about long-term issues with rings, seals, etc. I am skeptical of anything that does not get used. Nothing, animal or mechanical, should sit for years.

How long can a diesel sit? It was winterized, but has not been run for a few years. Rust issues in cylinders?

Sounds great, thanks for info. How do you like the Suzuki? Not too familiar w them. Guessing you like the 25hp ?

Hi Henry, 1st! NO Ethanol! Non.oxy fuel only! My Boat is an 11' Zodiac w oversized tubes. Motors...1st was a '97 15hp 2strk Merc. Great motor but needed a lot of maint. 2nd was a '07 15 hp 4strk Merc. Way TOO hvy, ran like a p.o.s. Now? I am running a 25 hp YAMAHA 2strk. w elec start. Bought...

New to forums in general, this being the first one I joined. Boating the Top of the Mississippi River in Minnesota for now. Have read many interesting threads, and look forward to gaining more knowledge, even though I don't own a trawler. Thanks
