I have been looking for an outboard to push my 14ft fiberglass boat around at a good pace. I found an older guy who fixes outboards in his spare time for fun. He has a 25hp older possibly evinrude? w/ electric start & a gas tank. My boat is set up with a steering wheel and this motor is set up for that, he also said he would throw in a the steering w/it. He says its ugly, but I told him it was for a duck boat so ugly works for me. From what i have seen the deal is great compared to other motors I have looked into. He also said that the motor can only use a compression tank which is included. What exactly is a compression tank and how does it work? He said that they work great for some time but just stopped being used. Is this something that could be a problem in the wonderfull weather of waterfowling?? I just want a good motor that will start and keep going. The price can't be beat so I was looking for some input. Thanks in advance!
