i have been looking for a few months for a clean 20 or 25 yamaha. Ive looked at a few and had been leess than impressed. I found one in craigslist yesterday and call the guy and he says....

?Yeah, i bought the motor 12 years ago new <its a 2006> for a boat project that never panned out.? He continues with ?i actually forgot i had it in the boat shed until i was moving and found it?.

I ask him to fire it and he puts it in the stand and connects the fuel line...four pulls and it fires...purrs like a kitten.

Seems i found a NOS 2006 25hp yamaha for the new boat....the thing weighs six pounds lighter than a new 15hp suzuki and $900 less!

Mission accomplished
 
Nice find. Trying to find a 20" shaft 25 tiller w/electric start myself to go on a johnboat project. I would even settle for a 2 stroke.
 
Sweet deal! I have one and love it. I would have two but some low life stole it off the back of my boat. I wanted it back so much I mailed reward letters to every marina within a 100 mile radius. No luck. Congrats on finding essentially a new old stock motor.
 
I have 2, one on my DB 13 and one on my Jon boat. Awesome engines and I can't kill them. You made a great purchase
 
Great engines and nice find. And last I checked, you can get most of the factory Yamaha parts for it, to include complete new power head.
 
Great find I still have a YAM 25 long shaft w/electric start 2 stroke in the garage sold a Yamaha 15 last fall SS with electric start and a Yamaha 40 tiller LS with PT&T about a month ago Just awesome 2 stroke motors

I would still "peruse" his neighbor's, nearby relatives, and friends...someone knew that you were about to remove that boat from the property, either by direct observation or notification via family member.
