    How many of you are running a 60/40 merc 4 stroke

    What size boat are you running? What kind of speed are you getting? I put around 6 hrs on my new merc today. I took it easy on it but seemed to move my 1652 pretty good. Out of the hole did not seem as good as my 2 stroke 40/28 but midrange feels a lot better. I am planning on taking a long run...

    3rd times a charm

    This is the 3rd winter in a row I'm planning on making a run down the Mississippi from Grand Rapids to Brainerd Mn. Looking at the maps it is the longest stretch without a dam on the upper Mississippi. It works out to 174 miles if I don't check out any of the tributaries. The past 2 springs it...

    Any snowmobilers?

    After a few year break from riding sleds I broke down and bought one to use for "ice fishing". I keep telling myself that is all it is for but I have know better with the snow we have so far in northern Mn. It is hard to go from from my 07 m6 and 06 Yamaha attack to my new beater mountain max 700.

    tuners?

    Has anyone installed a tuner from hydro tech? Was the a noticeable difference in volume of noise? I saw the offer a phase kit that adds a substantial amount of HP to my 40hp Yamaha. I've been looking to upgrade to a 60/40 but with their kit I would end up with similar HP with close to a 120 lbs...

    Yamaha 40/28 2 stroke vs Yamaha 40/30 4 stroke

    I have been running my 40/28 since 09 and has been a solid motor. My plans since buying a new hull was to pick up a 60/40 at some point but I ran across a 06 40/30 for a good price and have been throwing around the idea of picking it up. Has anyone ran both motors on the same hull or similar?

    Anyone running a stainless impeller in a small outboard?

    I went to order a new impeller and ended up ordering a stainless. I've always read that they either made no difference in performance or even lost some in the smaller jets. I have a 40/28 2 stroke Yamaha. Anyone have a similar size motor that has went from aluminum to stainless? Did you notice...

    Nova ultra jon

    Any one know anything about them? Looking for some specs on weight. I've been kicking around the idea of buying a new rig but figured i'd see what i can find locally for hulls to put my motor on before making the drive south to find a new rig.

    Long boat runs

    What's the longest run you guys have made? Trying to plan out a 100+ mile run this spring on the upper miss. The longest I've ran was 47 miles.

    Anyone have any videos of there local rivers?

    I'm new to the site. I'm on my 3rd season running my jet in minnesota. Wondering if anyone has any good videos of the type of water you guys run in other parts of the country? I've watched plenty of videos from out west and up north but not to much from the guys down south or east.
