Aloha Florida,
My Catalina 22 had a 6hp Johnson. That was more than I needed. I just sailed interisland on a Columbia 28 with a Honda 7.5. The 2 cycle engines are lighter and easier to handle and will not weigh down your stern as much as the 4 cycles. The 4 cycle engines are more economical and last longer. You don't need more than 10hp on your 25 and I'd go for a 7 to 8 hp.
Good luck in your choice.
Kind regards,
JohnL
