If the admiral had not required electric start, I would have bought one instead of the 9.8 Nissan I did buy. Tohatsu and Nissan are the same engine. If your primary reason for an o/b is getting in and out of the slip, and onto a trailer, and you don't think you'll need to motor against strong winds, it ought to suffice. Get the 25" shaft! Actually, I think that the 8hp is just about ideal for the C-25, it's a little bit lighter and less expensive, but I could not get it with electric start and 25" shaft, only 20" shaft. Go figure.
there are several threads here on the outboard subject.

I'm on an inland lake ( Lake Lanier ) so it sounds like it would be just fine. The search came up with one happy user. It just sounds so strange to have a one cylinder engine.

a banger...

I've also got a 5hp Merc 4-stroke 20" shaft, and for most of my situations, it would be enough, but the shaft is not long enough for the new mount I installed last spring. That, plus the elec. start, is why I upgraded to the 9.8. Are you a member of LLSC, and do you know Dennis Slaton from the C-22 fleet there?

Not a member. Been sailing on Lanier for over 20 years. Southcoast catalina 30 and now catalina 25.

Stamas 22 on Eufaula.

Looks like the 24 foot would be sweet.

not met Slaton as I'm at Aqualand.
