What year is your boat? Most anything mid 80's is 25" the earlier years had 20"

But measure as stated above you will be fine!

Plenty of mid-late 80's 20"ers out there, I got one...

Yeah but ain't nobody defending themselves and the video's are too cool sinking boats in the tug of war. I don't care who's motors it is. Besides great sales ploy and makes the competition have to think.

I think they should perform more real world tests such as long distance range, range while trolling etc. Nothing like pulling the competition back to the dock because they ran out of gas.

I will measure transom for motor shaft length.

Anyone have experience buying new Yamaha's over the internet? -- couple thousand savings!

I don't think i would buy a New motor over the net!

A lot of guys don't touch unless they sell, and Yamaha will not let you install or you Void the warranty!

So that means that you have to find a Yamaha Dealer to do your install when you bought it some were else. Not likely!

Besides when something go's wrong there is nothing like having a local guy help you out, who you going to call from the internet??

So the question here is a couple of thousand worth no warranty & and no one to fix?

DON'T FORGET THE SHIPPING COSTS

It does not have to be installed by a yammie dealer just a shop that has a yammie certified tech.
