Need advice from the boat owners

[FishNCoach]

Both are made by OMC, this is true, however I fined that there are more shop's that deal with evinrude for some reason, I would stay with the evinrude DEPENDABLE , I just put a new (new to me, 1975) rebuilt 65 hp, on my 14 1/2 footer, almost to much power, also like mentioned your insurence will go up. I would stay with the 115 hp, also like mentioned I had to rebult the transom, the motor was heavy. some things to consider, If it was me, I would stay with the Evenrude, Good dependable motors. I have seen many old boys still fire up after many years. I also have a harded time trolling with the new 65 hp, compaired to the old 35hp, I do not regreat the change but it was alot of $, and work, Just my opinion, hope this helps.
