Just received my new 2022 9.9 Mercury 4 stroke outboard. Love the electric start which is nice for older folks like me! Have it on my 14' aluminum v-hull, made by the predecessor to Princecraft called ABC boats. Probably a 1975 model, solid still. I did have trouble with it getting on plane, fully loaded. I added a hydro foil and works excellent now. Anyone out there with a similar size motor?
 
I have that motor on my 12' Jon boat. Pull start. Keeps me in shape.
I like it for what I use it for. I tuck it in tight and can get 20 mph on still, flat water. But the best thing about this motor is it's trolling capabilities. You can putt along at 2 or 3 mph all day and hardly use any gas. I hope you enjoy your Mercury.
 
I've got one for a kicker on my 16 foot flat bottom. Originally I had it on my 1436 but now I use it for trolling and as a backup if needed. It doesn't push the 16 very well but it'll get me home if needed. I'd like to use it on my 20 foot Mako but I don't think it has enough umph.

I'm about ready too throw in the towel on my 1996 Mercury 30 hp 2 stroke that is way to brutal to manual start.
While looking at the cost of an electric conversion start it now becomes feasible to purchase a new four stroke 9.9 or
15 hp and was wondering if that was enough power on a 14foot semi V hull? I know bigger is always better but to putter around the back bay on a nice day to get me too my flounder spots is all I need.

Hi neighbor!

Im up near New Hope, let me know if you want to part with that old Merc, I still have one good shoulder.

Cant remember which one but its there.
 
I have a 9.9 2021 model pull start. it is on a 14' alumacraft 1967 FD model. Even with my modifications I get about 17 to 20 mph out of the old gal. I am not a hurry up and get there guy so it works for me. I do find it interesting that you added hydro foil. When boat was bare bones it didn't drop bow until it reached about 12 mph. After adding weight to front and building a casting deck I lost a couple mph but got a more level ride. It is a good motor for sure.

When using it as a backup, so what if you only go 5 mph, that is at least five times faster than I can paddle, and much less effort !! I use my 2.2 hp as a kicker on my 16' SC fishing boat...much faster than oars !!
