WTB repower on the Nympho

[NymphO]

Thinking of putting a new motor on the the Nympho for this upcoming season. Evinrude 70 has treated me great but I'd like to enter the 4 stroke world. I can get over 30mph with the 70 and I'm not looking to win races or pull tubes just yet. Perfect motor would be a Honda 90-100-130. Open to other options as well, if I can swing the deal. Not saying no to an injected but 4 stroke is top of the list. Let me know what's out there ! Thanks!!!

Check out Evinrude E-TEC  great on gas, less maintenance,not as heavy as a 4 stroke, no fumes quiet as a 4 Stroke fogs itself out when its time to put it up

I have a Sea Nymph GLS 175 with a Yamaha F70LA. Put it on in 2014. Set up on a nema 2000 network to a Lowrance hds gen 2 touch. All functions are viewed on the Lowrance. It gets 8+ mpg at most efficient rpm and does about 26 mph there. Troll all day on a gallon of gas. Hooked up a VTS and will adjust from 600 to 1000 rpm in 50 rpm increments. My neighbor put a new Yamaha 90 VMax on GLS195 last year. Acceleration out of the hole on that is amazing. Would recommend that on a 195. Note the Lowrance screen touching 8mpg at 4200 rpm and 26 mph

Honda makes some good engines, but I'm partial to Yamaha. All of my boats have had them from F50 to F200 and they haven't missed a beat in twenty years. Unfortunately they're all 15+ years old now and I can't network them to add the electronic variable throttle control. That would be FANTASTIC on Nothing but Net. I hate having to bump the throttle ever so slightly to go from a low 700 to a high 700 in rough seas.

I appreciate all the info. Like I said, I'm not set on one specific brand, I just love the way my Honda and others I know have lasted. I haven't seen very many motors for sale anyways but I'm keeping my eyes open.

Couldn't agree more.  Yamaha makes fantastic motors.

Lock it up. I have scored a pretty fair deal on a Honda 90. Thank you to all those who assisted !!
