Hi SwanseaSib, welcome aboard. :wavey

Good two strokes are becoming a little rare, they are lighter than 4 strokes but noisier and far more thirsty on fuel.

Do you have a budget to work with ?
What’s your weight handling and storage ability for the outboard?
I’m guessing the sib is hypalon ?

You’ll prob find weight is the decider as 25hp two strokes start getting heavier than the 20hp 4 strokes.

Enjoy the forum
Martin :cheers
