Jason Cooper –
Strong little 25 — gets my loaded skiff on plane quickly. Short shaft fit my boat perfectly and the motor arrived in neat condition as advertised. A bit louder than modern four-strokes but plenty of power.
Kyle Simmons –
Great for towing tubes and quick runs. Two-stroke sound is noticeable but that’s expected; performance is the highlight. Seller packed it well and it fired up first pull.
Eric Wallace –
Dependable and simple to maintain. Short shaft worked for my shallow launches and the motor looked tidy on delivery. Minor carb adjustment after shipping, otherwise solid.
Ryan Coleman –
Plenty of midrange punch and strong top-end for a 25 HP. Neat cosmetically and mechanically; no corrosion. Fuel mixing is straightforward and performance is consistent.
Andrew Foster –
Good value — powerful for its size and easy to service. A little smoky compared to newer EFI units, but that’s part of the package. Condition matched the listing.
Nathan Doyle –
Very pleased overall. Quick acceleration, easy to trim, and maintenance is uncomplicated. Cosmetic wear was minimal — neat condition as stated.
Michael Harper –
Solid performer for weekend fishing and quick trips. Starts reliably and handles a full load well. Short shaft fits my dinghy; arrived clean and ready to run.
Liam Porter –
Strong, rugged motor — perfect for work use or heavy recreational days. Louder and thirstier than modern four-strokes, but the raw power is worth it. Neat condition and no mechanical surprises.
Mark Brooks –
Excellent acceleration and reliable starts. Needed the recommended fuel/oil mix but ran smoothly after a quick tune. Cosmetic finish was neat with only minor scuffs.
