A few years ago I wanted to get the family on the water. I had a choice between taking my father in laws 1968 boston whaler with a blown motor, or buying an inflatable and a brand new motor. If I had bought the inflatable we would be having adventures like this. The whaler still has engine problems and I won't take my family on it just yet. Curious - why did you pick the 25hp? i think these are rated for 50
@SoFloBuilds4 ай бұрын
It’s the heaviest motor I can lift by myself, and I got an incredible deal on it.

Did you bolt your outboard, or do you just ride with it clamped? I just got the same boat with a 25hp mercury, also do you trailer it with the outboard mounted? Any concerns about stress on the transom during trailering?
@SoFloBuilds3 ай бұрын
Well I have a generic Transom Saver from Amazon which supports the motor during transport, but I definitely try to avoid excess bumps when towing. But no, I don't have any worries.

The outboard is clamped tight, then the clamp handles are zip tied together so they can loosen.

Yes but for me 25 is enough power for it even tho there rates for more tho cool video

I don’t know that I would want to go faster than 20 mph anyway in such a light boat. The chop is pretty brutal where we go and a lot of the area is an Idle Speed only anyway. It’s also nice to be able to lift the motor on and off by myself.

20 is plenty @SoFloBuilds

Bro if you put a 50 on that with the canope you are likely to take off 😂

No doubt! I don't think I would want to go much faster than 20mph in the wakes and chop we have in the Intercoastal. It's pretty rough most days. I think we have the most fun just cruising.

How you installed your bimini

Your bimini is blocking the speed

Probably, but the Sun is brutal this time of year. And seeing how I've already had a chunk of my face the size of a Silver Dollar removed, I'll take the loss of a couple MPH ;-)
