I found a 2000 - 25HP Johnson at a pawn shop for $850 w/sales tax and it was super clean inside. *Starts on 2 pulls and I use it for offshore slow trolling. *Set speed and steer with the big motor. *EZ-PZ.

I use a 3 gallon tank and have only ran it dry one time. *If I needed more fuel I would pump from the main tank and refill. *

I could fish back from a long way out and call TowBoat US in a pinch.

Note: 13 gallon livewell and motor on same side of hull, listing not a noticeble issue, just keep all fish in fish box on other side!!! and fat brother's also. Seriously listing is not even noticed.
