You won't be disappointed. Fit and finish is top notch. that 686+ is a nice one too, but for everyday carry the Colt will win out

@@popeyesspinach1128 they were also the same. The 9.9s and 15s.

I live on the edge 😆

@whsnala32 Excellent advice! Thank you! I'm just gearing up and will be in the woods over the next two weeks so I will try that.

@@timlong1462 Yes, I have seen your setup. I think it's awesome. I would like a tiller extension. What do you recommend for that? I also have the same 200 hydrofoil you have but haven't put it on. Does that really help with speed or just keeping it on a plane with a higher motor?

⁠​⁠@@publicdefender77 cool, I love the small outboard John boat community on YT, Always looking at other peoples videos to learn new stuff or get ideas. For my 2000 Johnson 25 a short bit of schedule 80 2" PVC conduit slid right over the tiller. Made it about 4"longer than the handle. I cut several slits and clamped it with hose clamps. Then 1.5" regular schedule 40 pvc will fit perfectly inside. Then I just used a round bail PTO pin/hitch pin to pin them together for quick detachment. Cheap if you have some laying around and sturdy The foil only helps for the first few seconds getting up. After that mine is several inches above the water if I've got the plate raised. I definitely know it helps in my case. I trim the motor down so the prop is actually pointed up, raise the plate to get clearance so the motor is actually pushing up on the transom. That thing will get up on plane in about 2 boat lengths and I can hole shot in about 2 feet of water. Th foil acts like an elevator surface, and also keeps my prop from ventilating for the first few seconds

@timlong1462 I ran a 2000 Johnson 30hp on this boat with a crappy prop and this 89 25 seems to be a little faster. It has the lighter mounting bracket and the exhaust is a little louder which i feel gives it more grunt. I have a heavy 14 foot fishing boat with a 40hp that I can only get 31 out of so weight is my biggest factor.

@@publicdefender77 Weight is huge. I notice a decent difference just between a full tank and almost empty. I also sometimes think the older motors may have been rated different. I've met some guys on the river with 15's and 20's that move out. So much is weight, hull shape and prop so it's hard to pin down. I'd like to see a back to back with this 25 and a 30 if you still have it. This Old Outboard converted a 25 to the bigger 30 carb and I've considered it, just haven't been able to find one for a reasonable price. Also would be awesome to see the 40 on this boat if that's possible with the mounting.

@@bastienforster4869 14 foot mirrocraft

Do you think a 15 4stroke is faster than a 15 2 stroke? Or are you saying a 9.9 2 stroke should be as fast or faster than a 15 4 stroke? I personally think that would be the case.

Warum?

@@toneydelawder615 I love it! Such a soft shooter

@jacobswell2533 i did put a 15 pitch on and am getting the same speed. Maybe slightly less. It seems to chug a little more than the 13. If I lost 100lbs that would really help 😆

That would be a fun one!

I appreciate that brother! Thank you!

@Jwalls1980 since every video I make I use high dollar targets, this one I was broke

@@meco72104 I was surprised. Only 1.4 mph difference!

Does a horespower rating determin the speed of a car? My cummins has as much power as i want to turn the fuel supply up for. She wont go above 100

Thx! Yes, 9 pitch and 11. They seemed like they were the correct pitches for this load.

@Novum-su9ie When I first got them I would have said the 20" was slightly more reliable, but after putting in the updated gas block and putting silencer on them they both run flawlessly.

@@mateos8083 I haven't found one yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how they differ at 600 yards.

I appreciate that! I really like that Romeo 8. Fast acquisition and durable. My eotech will be going back on shortly.

I second that. I appreciate all of your content. Keep them coming

@Kevin_Darensbourg if you want to see the gun watch my videos with the gun in action. This one is an unboxing video.

@@lmbear 125 yards. My range is odd. The target has to be by the berms. I just got done filming 225 yards. It should be good.

@huntercityss9142 Thank you! Yes, I need to do that on the 15. The 25 I tried many different props and the 13 seems to work the best.

@apaloneaspera5686 Thank you! Shooting at 125 yards with a 100 yard 0.

Both right under 7lbs without accessories.

@@SteveandSusiesHomestead Thanks! I recommend you get one 😆

Thank you! The first groups on the upper left targets were the 168fmj and the middle target groups were the 150 grain soft points

@mateos8083 hands down it's the best for the money. I have only one complaint. I am unable to set my scope back to 0 on the dials after I sight it in. I'm able to do that on the Nikon and other brands

@publicdefender77 thanks for the reply. Ive seen alot of your ammo testing videos but could you tell me what brand/weight ammo you recommend for the 20" sfar.

I just purchased one and installed it on a 16" 6.5 grendel. I really like this scope.

@mateos8083 as of latey I have stocked up on the PSA AAC ammo and out to 225 yards it has been a winner. I will be getting it out to 400 and 600 yards next. Looking forward to seeing how it will group.

@joshuachristiansen4253 Yes, you know your stuff!

@DizzyMan24 that is fast from a 20! Or was that after putting the 30 carb and intake on it?

@publicdefender77 After doing the 30HP upgrade. Not really sure how fast she ran as a 20HP.
