 25efi Mini Hey guys,
I heard Mud Buddy will be releasing a 25efi from Kohler for their mini series. Does anyone have experierence with that motor? Trying to look for the best power/weight ratio setup for my 1654 - its only 415 lbs - so I think I may be able to get away with a mini.

Re: 25efi Mini I'd go with a 35
If you don't, you will wish you did

Re: 25efi Mini That is true. I had a lot of contact with a Mud Buddy rep. The 25 Kohler is also listed in their website. Originally they were going to use the Subaru, but ended up going Kohler. Speaking as a 25 owner – unless you have a restriction to 25hp - I would go with the 35. The aftermarket is there and you can’t beat the extra load carrying ability / power.
The 25 Kohler mini 195lbs
The 35 HDR looks to weight 295.
The 25 HDR can’t weight much less than that 295.

Re: 25efi Mini That's pretty cool!
Just some FYI. I looked up a new Mercury 40hp outboard and it has a dry weight listed at 260lbs.

Re: 25efi Mini You may wanna stick with an outboard
A mudmotor will tear that transom up, in a hurry.

Re: 25efi Mini I can say this. I hunt a lot of places and rarely get into stumps. My mud motor is most beneficial in heavy vegetation and shallow water. I'd have no problem with that type hull where I live 90%+ of the time, and would still benefit from a mud motor.

Re: 25efi Mini They didn't go with the kohler because it was a better motor. They went with kohler because they can't get anymore subarus until 2017.
I have one of the last ones they had built.

Re: 25efi Mini I didn't say Kohler is a better motor. The Subaru seems to have built itself a good reputation.
I doubt anyone is getting them come 2017. Did you not hear the Subaru Industrial news?

Re: 25efi Mini Its bearproof, bulletproof, etc. etc.
Works great for what I use it for (shallow, very rocky rivers).
