The same era 9.9 and old 9.5 had more torque to push a heavier boat but on a small lightweight boat like yours those OMC 6's would perform pretty darn near the same. I grew up being around them, my dad always loved them. Definitely one of the top motors that OMC ever made.

[@ncwarrior62]

Those old 6 hp Evinrudes are near about bulletproof! I have had several over the years they take a licking and keep on ticking !

[@Hiei1029]

Pretty cool little boat. It's all you need for alittle fun on the water

[@insolentstickleback3266]

I just scored a 1968 6 hp Johnson and 3 gal tank, for free. Motor and tank are near mint, older gentleman took very, very good care of them.

[@RichieRouge206]

Cool boat, great little outboards

[@vinhha6073]

Bro it's nice... I just bought the 12" boat and new suzuki 6hp.... I never be on the boat so ever... lol.... some of my friend say it too small, if a big boat pass by... bla bla bla... but when I watch your vid... my scariest go away a little bit...😳😳...my really first time on the boat this summer.... I love to see more vid from you...👍👍👍👍👍

[@fleetwin1]

That's one strong 6hp, yeah buddy! Wished those engines were still made today, OMC would still be in business...

[@nicstr28]

She runs good. Nice little setup

[@bee2333]

Is your motor all the way in the water or did you adjust the tilt? Moves pretty damn fast for a 6horse

[@nathantribble7599]

Dang props to evinrude

[@ESPNsPeacockbassProfessor]

Oldie but a goldie

[@markc4921]

Nice little set up. How fast was that little 6 going?

[@aslmx8320]

That thing is moving for 6 horse

[@electricedge4383]

Obviously it’s moving

[@busdriver1469]

Awesome speed for a 6 hp motor😁😁do you know How much IT did?mph or knots?

[@ryancarter8985]

it goes fast for a 6hp

[@ColoradoDuckHunter]

was thinking the same thing, my 5 hp is slow as hell

[@dexter2433]

it is a 2 stroke 6hp more out the hole punch to get up on top after that it easy pushing ......your years 4 strokes did not have the low end power the 2 strokes have but getting better .....i used to kneebord behind my old evenrude 9.9 on a 14' jon boat with 2 people in the boat pulling me

[@dreamdiction]

@@dexter2433 6hp is 6hp regardless of 2 or 4 stroke.

[@claytonburch5181]

@@dreamdiction but 2 stroke got more torque

[@maxwellsailing4158]

Dream Diction 2 stroke 5hp will probably beat a 6.5 up 4stroke

[@jeremiahalmos2643]

This goes faster that my 83 9.9 honda

[@trevorhannon900]

those are great engines!

[@trevorhannon900]

how old is the engine?

[@rollingrecords9019]

Weighted perfectly 💯

[@eternalthread7846]

Those 70-90s small hp evinrude and Johnson motors punch above their weight

[@tinkersmentality8794]

haven't got my 6 horse evinrude to go the fast.. timing is okay, new carb very clear engine or it's been replaced.. . redoing the bottom due to a horrible job the last person worked on it.. so i am taking off the old layers to the glass when it was made. fiber & woven full length on the outside W/ Epoxy resin. polyester for doing the flooring W/ copped glass.

[@captainrickyfla6170]

Pretty cool

[@JuanHernandez-jc6re]

I got the same outboard bro when i try and start it its been having metal shavings what is that from?

[@mannysfishingadventures5405]

Mine is same but 9.6 horse power so mine will rear the fuck up thanks bro just bought a 1970 13 foot with same engine in a 9.6 hp configuration cant wait to be out this week end popping water willies

[@lefthook613]

Hi Peter. I ran a setup just like yours long ago & can tell you you have more than enough to push that 10 footer. You'll end up wanting to upgrade boats lol. With the brig its light & they're stable tho. Where you at? Im in Ottawa area. Good luck with the new rig.

[@petermoyes8766]

@@lefthook613 hi i am in whitby ,,thanks for the luck wishes ,,,i got this 2008 brig for 500 bucks its rrealy nice .i pay the landlord so i can keep my boat in the back and motor in a heated garage but the front chamber in the realy cold. loses air in a day, but side chambers last weeks or so ,,i know cold air deflates and hot inflates ,,but i must have a leak in the front ,,,,hope i can find it ,,or it hopefully is a bad valve ..,the boat is great shape no patches at all ,,to pass the time i am rebiulding a 1958 johnson qd 10hp sea,horse ..i bought it of a guy whos dad passed away ,origional owner all complete ,,the tiller was realy stiff sorted that out,, managed to get the screws out to drain the gearbox . oil was like new .happy to see that ,,its not firing ,,the coils and points look good i think he had it serviced .....gonna gap the points and see what happens ,,from what i understand they are great motors i cant wait for warmer weather ,,i have not even tried the brig out ,,but the 6hp will do the job ,,thanks for your message

[@lefthook613]

Aha well i wonder if that valve isn't sealing fully? Can be fixed. But good score on the 58 johnson 10 hp! I had a 57 10 hp & loved it. They are very good. They run strong. Reliable! So well built. Yours may need new coils. Points just usually need cleaning. I did all that & cleaned the carb & wow it ran great. I regretted selling it so got another one plus couple more lol.

[@lefthook613]

You can get parts at "marineengine.com" and apparently there's a source in Canada too im trying to track down. Also check out these 2 antique outboard clubs: "aomci.org" & "mlaoc.ca" -- lots of cool stuff. Motors & parts. Restored & not. I should join this club lol.

[@chiphood2966]

Just got a 79 6hp evinrude. Put it on my 12 foot aluminum boat and it flies up the river. Only taken it out once when I first got the outboard. I'll take it out Sunday to check its speed on the GPS

My thoughts exactly lmao

[@jimcatx3090]

U can tell it has performance reeds too

Did you modified or boost the motor? Runs really well and fast for a six.hp. Any suggestions to increasing the HP?

No I didn’t

Nice 👍

I have same exact set up but doesn't go that fast, idk why tho

Trim the motor up

that's nice.

That cruises. You use gps to measure speed yet?

[@iMotostik]

Not yet plan to!

[@jimcatx3090]

It prob has a full ported manifold

[@nitrojunki4249]

Ok, truth, do you have any mods on that motor? How fast is it on that boat

[@iMotostik]

No I didn't do anything to it. I bought it off criaglist like it was

[@jimcatx3090]

Wyatt McCombs what prop do you have on the 6hp mine is so slow I have a 3 blade

[@whistlingasoline999]

What kind of prop do you have on it? I have a 6hp Johnson (exact same motor, just branded differently) and it doesn't go near that fast.

[@iMotostik]

Samuel Clark I assume the stock one. I bought it used and never changed it

[@AaronS11979]

I'm genuinely curious about the prop size too. My 72 6hp has the stock 8x7.25 (two blade) on it and it's sluggish as all heck with about the same boat setup as him here. Wouldn't mind buying a new prop to get me out of the hole a bit more. To the OP, the prop size is stamped on the side of most props. If you still have it and want to post the info.

[@raphzshots]

How heavy is your boat?

I think 50 to 100 Kilogramm

[@monkeyking819]

theres no way thats a 6hp i had a 89 model evinrude 6hp on a 10ft v haul and it barley went 14mph

[@nicstr28]

Hes in a flat bottom. He'd be slower in a v hull

[@brianfranks3123]

A lot determines your top speed. Boat type, weight and distribution, throttle settings, prop, current, wind, water conditions, gas/oil mixture and temperature....so it's possible to hit 20 mph using this, or about 10...depends on your setup

[@robertkeeton2149]

My 12ft sears aluminum boat will only do 10mph tops with just me, I put my 70lb kid in the front I can go 15mph........6hp Johnson. I don't get it

[@GoldenCroc]

@@robertkeeton2149 How the hull cuts the water is more or less everything. With the kid in front you change the angle of the hull compared to the water.
