I have a 2014 Yamaha 25hp motor
4 stroke fuel injection
Is there anything you can do in terms of re-jetting or whatever to increase the horsepower?
Buddy and I were talking about it this weekend and just wondering.
My boat needs more power to get on plane.
When I bought it my only choices were a 25 or a 40.
They make a 35 but there were exactly 0 available at the time.
I could buy a 40 or buy a 25 and build a 24X30 shop.
Lol
I bought a 25 lol

sell me your 25 and get the 40 lol
Just for kicks & giggles I just looked them up.
Best I remember in 2014 I paid right at 4K for mine.
I just can't believe this is accurate??? :eek:
If so, I will have me one pretty quick.

Soddy Daisy, yes it's a real place
I know this seems obvious but have you played with the trim position. On my xpress with a 30hp yamaha tiller. If I have one buddy in there that weighs say 250# compared to just me alone at 155#. I have to reset my manual trim up on or two notches so that way when I hit the throttle the boat jumps up on plane. If not we're just plowing water when he's in there with me.

Yeah I have, didn't really make much difference for some reason.
