[QUOTE="Jay415, post: 273551, member: 6905"] New addition to the boat! Since the modifications, I've only been getting around 13mph out of the 9.9hp so I've been searching craigslist for a bigger motor. The boat is rated for 30hp. I didn't want anything smaller than 25hp. I found this today and I got what I believe to be a great deal! I hope I did the proper checks on it. It's a 1999 25hp Mercury with electric start. Sounded good when ran and pumped water well. Both cylinders were within 2psi of each other on a compression test. As you can see from the pics it is super clean! I'll have it out for the first time Monday. I'm hoping to have a good report on the motor and the fishing! One problem I did run into though is the hole to open the stern hatch. The hatch hits the motor and has to be forced open and closed. I'll deal with it for now! Off season project!!
