Sounds like you're going to upgrade. What boats are you looking at?

Just a side note. I bought a 20 lb drift boat galvanized pyramid anchor and am...

It's a jet tunnel, the prop tunnel for that year has the center console more in the middle not forward.

I have a welded 2002 1542 Grizzly with the split back seat. I'm about to put a 20/25 2 stroke on it and ill let you know how it does.

Most dealers won't install higher than the coast guard plate ratings due to liability as already mentioned. Most insurance companies won't insure it...

I've suggested a mud motor section with no luck. I've been thinking about putting a longtail on my 12ft jon. It would be great for those times when...

Yes. This is my first SI fish finder and I'm still experimenting with settings.

I'd like to hear opinions to on the K5 and places that install.

Thanks.

Cool Project

I just purchased a used Grizzley 1648 with a 30 hp Merc prop. i am converting it to a small fly fishing skiff.

1. I am also adding...

I have always heard that 2 engines are much less efficient than 1 of the combined hp. Not sure what the beam is on that 16 ft boat but 2 120 hp...

It sounds like there is too much slack so if you can tighten that up, it should help the reverse, the start up lever and even forward should come in...

Sorry, outdated post

Well, the transom brace doesn't match mine. Mine is a cast aluminum, rather than stamped one. My boat is a 10-foot, (but actual distance is closer to...

My 1648 weldbilt has a canted transom, so there may be 5% or so tilt. Put on a 50/35 short shaft tiller and it needed to be lifted up to the last two...

I'm sure your right.
Does anyone have any speed guesses with this motor and a 18/52 and 18/56?

I'm running a 1648 weldbilt with a 2 cycle Tohatsu 50/35. Goes as fast as I want to go. It uses more fuel than a prop. It's a modvee with not much...

I don't think many of mass producers do, but plenty of custom boat builders do. For bigger manufactures I know Excel boats have longitudinal...

Update: Took the boat on the lake this past weekend. The weight of the deck and bow motor was fine. The 1542 was solid and stable.

No issues at all...

I have a 2019 Merc 60 40 jet and it’s done this from day one at idle. It is the impeller rubbing the wear ring.

I don’t want to have to get over the...

I have a new 2019 mercury 60 40 and it does the same thing from day one at idle and stops just above. I’m just past breaking in and still does it....

Does the boat have a tiller prop motor on it now? What size engine is on it? Usually you see 115/80 or 90/65 jets on 18ft boats but the 60/40 may...

The only differences in the 35 jet and the 40 jet are the stickers, price and programming. They are essentially the same engine. Mercury just...

I really was impressed that the holes were not more severe. After repairing my boat I took a picture of the rock with the water lower. I TOOK a chip...

haha :LOL2: I haven't done it to mine as I figured a really good polishing would be reuined the first time I suck any sand or gravel. I have taken my...

Thanks everyone! I love the pods on my 1448. I noticed a huge difference in planning out. My little 15hp 4 stroke prop will plain out and do 14mph...
