Raiders,
Back again to pick your boating brains for some advice. So as I've stated in a couple of past posts we (Hiles and me) own a 1978 Evinrude 25hp 2 stroke, and have had a few little problems over the past year or so we have had it. It sits on the back of a 12ft dehaviland tinny and we were actually thinking of buying a new little 2 stroke 15hp Mercury outboard for it.
Reasons behind this mainly being realiabilty and knowing we can get home, as well as maybe fuel consumption? smoother ride? easier start, savings on repairs etc. Are these valid reasons or will fuel consumption not change much for example? Would love any advice possible
Thanks!
Sam
