I can't thank all of you who have given me the many tid bits of advice I have received along the way. JUST GOT BACK WITH THE NEW 40 YAMAHA 4 STROKE. I think its going to be the right choice for me based on much of the discussion here.
I am glad I posted this subject or I would have bought the 25 Evinrude I was eyeing.
I am sure now that would have been a mistake.
