Wow really? I'll try and call the guy tommorow. Is there anyway it could be paid for then I can pay you a.s.a.p if you drop it off here?

Trust me haha If I had a vehicle down here I would go drive and check it out in a heartbeat! haha, but I'm from Timmins so I didn't bother bringing my truck down here figured It would be a moneypit with gas, parking ect especially since I'm just at school. The motor looks to be in very good condition though for the price. I was just wondering if people have ever used them before or had any positive/negative comments about this particular model. I'm in no rush to buy, however this seems like a very good deal.

I wish I could haha, I'm a student in Toronto right now so my next step would be figuring out how to get it to Toronto from London hahah.

As I'm sure some have you have noticed, I have been looking for a longshaft 20hp'ish motor for a little while and I stumbled upon this one on Kijiji http://sarnia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-powerboats-motorboats-20hp-Merc-tiller-W0QQAdIdZ450719926 So i just wanna ask you guys, if you think this is a good deal? were Mercury's a decent brand during that time frame? Does anyone notice anything negative in the pictures cause it looks like a near mint condition motor to me. WOuld really appreciate some responses here! Thank You in advanced.

Yeah I don't think Il be buying that one. The 25hp 4 stroke might be a bit too much weight. If it were a 2 stroke I would consider it.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'd would consider that one my only concern with it would be the weight of a 25hp 4 stroke. My boat is rated for a 20 max, but I'm not too sure how it would handle a 25. Another thing that would concern me is the repair cost. I've never had to repair a lower unit on a motor before any estimate how much it would cost?

Hi there, does anybody know anyone here that will be or is selling a 20hp longshaft motor preferably made after 2000 or near that year? Im not looking to spend anymore than 1700. Looking anywhere between the GTA and Timmins.

Oh geez haha a 30! yeah, Im starting to think the 25 will be fine, especially since its about about 110 lbs. Yeah I bought mine at the boat show the other week. The alumacraft dealer was giving me the better price between the 2 so that was a another factor considering I'm still a student haha.

Thanks! Its funny you own a yukon cause I'm pretty sure it has basically the identical specs at the boat I bought. My final two choices actually were this alumacraft and the yukon. The middle split bench sold me though. So you run a 25 on your yukon then and it isn't too bad?

Thanks for the quick replies people! Im starting to lean heavily towards getting the 25 hp motor. Just to give you guys a visual idea Il link a picture of the exact same boat I bought except with a 15 inch shaft. You can see how thick the transom is in the picture though. http://www.alumacraftnederland.nl/images/dsc03998.jpg

May I ask what kind of tinny or the size of it? beam and weight wise roughly? haha I'm really close to buying this motor just want to do a tad more research before I pull the trigger to make sure it won't damage the boat.

Thanks for these quick replies! Its not going to be insured, its just going to be a backlake, and river fishing/camping boat in northern ontario. As for the overpowering issue the way I was kind of thinking of it was I don't have to use all that power, could just go 3/4 throttle most of the time, however when we have the big load of camping gear and people there power is there when I need it. I was just wondering because every other boat in this category was rated for a 25hp and the alumacraft I bought was rated for 20, its Compareable to the Lund WD and WC, Legend Wide body, crestliners 14 ft model all the other brands seems to be rated for 25.

Bought a 14 foot alumacraft v14 rated for 20hp, 68 inch beam, about 240+lbs, 62 inches wide at the transom. Im picking this up in the spring and was planning on using my old 1989 15hp evinrude with 2000+ hours on it and on its last legs until I found a newer motor. Well sure enough I found a good price on a lightly used 2001 Yamaha 25hp 2 stroke. I was wondering If it would effect the boat at all? The weight of this 2 stroke is roughly the same even a couple of pounds lighter than the new Yamaha 15hp and 20hp 4 strokes as well all weighing in between 100-115 lbs. Also note that this boat is going to have at least 2 ppl in it minimum 90% of the time, also it will often be used for long river runs, and sometimes be back with 3-4 people plus lots of gear for weekend camping trips. I was just wondering if the 25hp would damage the boat at all considering it and the new 20hp 4 strokes are equal in weight?

Saw this about a week ago. Never gets old haha "I want cake now!"

The Shimano Chronarch. Best reel I've ever used. I also have the 350$ Abu Garcia revo mgx and I like this one much more just feels right, and extremely easy to cast a country mile. http://www.basspro.com/Shimano-Chronarch-Baitcast-Reels/product/10215337/

Absolutely love the CI4 bought one last year loved it soo much I bought another. Paired them both up with crucial rods best combo ever!

I talk to Native people trust me. I have a lot of native friends as I am from Timmins. I just feel Spence is protesting for the wrong reasons.

I know what Harpers trying to do, and I disagree with it. It's still not very clear what the Aboriginals are trying to do here. Thats what people are questioning. Is this a Bill C45 thing for them or is this a money thing? I have yet to see the real purpose behind this and it seems like 90% of our population doesn't know whats even going on yet.I guess we'll have to wait till Spence makes up her mind on meeting Harper to get true details about the entire thing...

Im not a racist, I support freedom, but it is impossible to live in a free country when there is one race getting more benefits than any other one.

This is exactly it.

Is that the best you can come up with? The aboriginals are undeserving and they know it. Not one race of person deserves more tax dollars over another in this country. No reason for you guys to be mad at Harper. You should be questioning Spence. The government gives you the money its the decision of the chiefs on how it is spent. Its time to get rid of the Indian Act

Wheres the section for caucasian people? or asian people? The aboriginals shouldn't get any benefit whatsoever compared to any other Canadian.

This guy has it dead on the money. Its about time to rip of that treaty and everyone living equally in Canada. I don't care who was here first or not. That was many generations ago. Time to evolve people...get with the times. Start working for what you have instead of being dependent on others.

This video right here should clear up some stuff for people wondering its a quick 5 mins video but shows the flaws of this protest. feel free to comment.
