I HAVE A 15 FOOT SEARS ALUMINUM WITH A 15 H.P. BUT I DONT USE IT MUCH UNLESS IM FISHING, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO YOURS CHRIS BUT I STILL RATHER USE THE MATE BECAUSE I HAVE THE NEED FOR SPEED

Sream and fly at its best. Sure looks cold.

 

[Chris]

It was a little chilly that day.

It was fun though.

I bought that motor last year, it's supposed to be one of the last 2 strokes Merc made. It's a 2006 model. Merc actually sold 2 strokes in Canada a bit longer than they did in the U.S. Anyhoo, I got one of the last of the breed. It goes like stink on that boat.

Man thats pretty fast for a row boat!

Those sure are fun. One of my very first boats was a 12' aluminum with a 9.9 merc what a blast that little thing was. I boat in the ocean and had some pretty hairy rides in that thing as a kid. I had to keep a cinder block in the bow just to get it going!lol I wouldnt mind owning another one though... ride all day for under $5.00 cant beat that

I HEAR THAT BOSTON, I WILL NEVER FORGET MY FIRST BIG MOTOR IT SUCKED GAS TO THE POINT I ALMOST CHOKED. IT SUCKED DOWN 6 GALLONS IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND I WAS USED TO HAVING 6 GALLONS LAST TWO DAYS. NOW IT SEEMS LIKE MY "FUEL HABIT" IS ABOUT $125.00 A DAY

Chris it looks like you need to trim up the 25 a little and get some more bow lift.

maybe a lil jack plate and a chopper. lol

 

[Chris]

I tried trimming it up a bit.

I didn't seem to get much more bow lift.

Six gallons in twenty minutes? Oh my gosh! That's why I stick with small boats with motors no bigger than 25 ponies!
