Any chance would could talk you into a Merc? How about two more years on warranty. Ive owned both motors…like Yammies a whole bunch, but pound for pound the Merc has been faster on top end for me. Which ever you choose, get the 25 Fury………..you can buy another prop later (will be cheaper to buy a Trophy or Tempest out of pocket). You wont be sorry if you go with the Fury. I felt the same as you when I ordered my boat and no one was running the Fury that I knew. My partner said try the Fury first….glad I listened to him.
