Using an app on my phone, GPS Essentials, I had clocked my old motor as high as 6.25mph so I was expecting to see a dramatic difference in the two.and I did. My expectations were high, I wanted to hit 10 mph with over 800lbs of people, gear, batteries, etc. For the mean time I'll use it as is and cover it when I am not driving it.įriday night I had the motor mounted and ready to hit the water Saturday morning. I'll probably add some jb weld and order a new hood from Mercury. Here's the busted rear end of the motor that kept the hood from attaching. I didn't even hesitate, I gave Brian the money and brought the motor home right then and there. I was amazed, since Rylan had a 2008 9.9 Mercury Big Foot outboard and it typically took one pull on choke to get it running. Two days later I met LegendKiller, Brian, and he started the motor on the first pull. I then quickly expressed my interest and made contact with the seller. So on lunch break I logged into Ohio Game Fishing and found the motor. I still felt that the motor was still worth every bit of $300. However the motor had been dropped and it was cracked and the cover was lost. At first I thought he was joking, because most motors newer than 2000 run well over $500. The other day Rylan sent me a email about a 2003 Mercury 9.9hp motor for $300 on Ohio Game Fishing's Marketplace. So I was hoping to get a motor that could push us at 10 miles per hour or greater, in order to fish more and drive less. We have traveled up to 2 hours before on various fishing trips while scouting large stretches of the Ohio River and its tributaries.
My old motor is a 1978 Ted Williams 7.5 horse power 2 stroke outboard that is extremely loud and too slow for our fishing needs.6mph. For quite sometime I have been looking for a new outboard motor for my 14 foot modified v jon boat.
