Re: 25hp Johnson - the good and the bad?
I had a 1986 Evinrude 25 hp for 16 years and put nearly 2000 hours on it, all in salt water. It was a superb engine, always reliable. It had the tank-mounted VRO system, which I disconnected after a few years. I ran it on 100:1 pre-mix, and was blissfully unaware of the recommended change to 50:1.
I miss that motor.
