That looks like a pretty good price. I recently sold my 25 Nissan for quite a bit more than that. It was the best outboard I've ever had, I just didn't have a use for it anymore since I got rid of my jonboat. The parts to convert it might be pretty expensive though. I would try to find a salvage motor or something like that. There's a place in Rochester claims to have a lot of that sort of thing...that's pretty close to you...might be worth checking them out before you spring for the motor.

I run my 9.9 Evinrude with the remote box and made a tiller out of aluminum tube to steer it with. I like having the controls seperate. You can make the tiller as long as you need it to be. I can stand up and steer mine or sit down.

I had the parts so the only cost was for the aluminum tube. 400.00 for a running Nissan 25 is a goos deal.
