I was looking to upgrade the size of the motor on a 14' starcraft (falcon or holiday i believe) and found a 1985 johnson 25 hp. My first question is whether or not this engine will push the boat pretty quick since it's such a deep v-hull or if I should look for something a little larger. My second question is whether the price seems ok at $750 (it seemed ok to me) with these specs...
Included is the original owners manual, an extra propeller, bunny ears, the gas can, hoses, steering cables, all mounting gear, and the electric start/throttle case assembly. The engine was recently tuned up for routine maintenance and had the carb insides replaced, gear oil changed, new spark plugs, and a routine cleaning and greasing.
Anything I should ask or look for aside from putting it through a tank test before I look into it more seriously?
Thanks for the help I appreciate it
