Looking for a small outboard now. I was gonna go to the boat show yesterday until the wife said " don't , knowing you , you will drag something home " When I was young I had a little 13 foot Boston Whaler with a 25 merc on it. That thing was an awsome little skip. I'd do that again too. Bullet proof and could be sprayed down after use (muddy dog feet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny , when I was 15 my sister owned a marina on long island south shore ny. I was out in a 14 footer with a 25 . Thing got stuck wide open , I threw it in nutral and it sounded like it was gonna blow so I threw it back in drive. Fucking motor flipped into the air , cut my wrist with the prop and went to the bottom of the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 19, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 19, 2018 1/2 the reason I figured id try this gravy with a small outboard is I'm sick of ethanol , wiring issues , and all the other bullshit. Figured with a small outboard if the thing fucks up I can throw it in the back of truck and bring it somewhere. Also a lot of cool trout ponds around here with 10 hp limits.

jammin Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'll be riding an 04 F6 until I die or maybe get a 14 / 15 in a few years. New sled $$ are nut's but good for the one's that go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy you can speed a hundred g’s in a hurry there. I roll around to the Donzi’s and Cobalt boats and get weak in the knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an 06 and it did not have a recommended hour re-build, I believe that started in 07 and after with the ceramic washers, but make no mistake there were lots needing them.
