Repowering My 20 Year Old Boat

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

Good information. That Pathfinder looks great for a 2002. I have a 2001 that's not as pretty but still gets the job done.

[@Sam_Holladay]

Best 2-stroke motor on the market and out performs those Mercury 4-strokes, hands down. Better fuel economy, better emissions, better power, etc. I do understand sponsors though, so get it. P.S. Mercury supplies the parts to repair that engine.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

How many 150 pro xs have you owned?

[@Sam_Holladay]

@@BrianLatimerFishing went from Mercury to Evinrude. The 225 E-tec G2 was the best I’ve used. Now Mercury owns it/most of it and supplies the parts to fix them when broken.

[@zcookie9272]

Have a mercury proXS 150 on my Z18 love it. Have zero complaints. 60mph gets the job done ✔️

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Most solid small outboard I’ve ever ran!

[@troysmith522]

the previous owner of my boat deleted the oil mix system and just used pre mixed gas directly into the tank , when I repower how do I get all that twc oil residue out of the tank ?

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Siphon what you can and don’t worry about the rest. It’s not gonna hurt anything

[@gracedbygod2854]

Excellent! Nice Engine, Brian! The weather here in Charleston is getting good for those Reds!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

All I think about man

[@levigreen5509]

yeah i caught a couple nice ones the other night. 31 was the best but lost a massive bull

[@crashburn2938]

I just bought a 1990 nitro tracker with a 150 Evinrude. Ur definitely an inspiration. Now to get the skills up and do tournaments.

[@johnemrey9877]

A little late now but the reason you don't see many black Mercury motors on offshore boats is the black holds heat and caused issues with motor performance. Thats why they sell motors with white cowlings. That being said, when we taking that bad boy out?

[@jwahrmund]

Great info. Appreciate videos like this.

[@deriksmith5397]

I'll be in Fort Morgan from October 8th-15th if you need a fishing partner!! Love the boat. I'm bringing my little Javelin bass boat with me to fish the Little Lagoon and Bon Secur Bay

[@Steve-qw8hj]

I’m from southside al ! Just recently became a fan! Why did you come all the way to bucks boats ?

[@sheamuswalsh251]

I have been looking into repow

[@FishOn1]

Replaced a 2001 ProXS with a 2021 ProXS on my 2001 Triton TR21 and could not be happier with it.

[@macking4942]

Brian, when did you change to Chevy? Thought you ran a F250 a a Tacoma?

[@rickrudd]

Man, great advice. About 10yrs ago, I got into a whole can of worms trying to repower a 1972 Boston Whaler with a brand new Mercury Outboard. EVERYTHING went wrong and I wasn't prepared for any of it. Bottom line: it's a heck of a lot more than the cost of the engine.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Yeah! It’s pretty involved. Especially on a manufacture switch

[@krazydime0]

E-TEC For Life!!!! Or until they run out of parts…..😢

[@cunningtonalonzo7214]

those tomatoes growing pretty

[@Parkersgrow31319]

Yessss sir 😂

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

It’s time to take them up

[@Parkersgrow31319]

@@BrianLatimerFishing you need to put them on shop b-lat I’ll buy them homegrown tomatoes my wife loves them 😂😂😂😂👊🏿❤️

[@kevinvaughan2570]

I have been trying to repower my Bass boat with a Mercury, I am not able to find a motor from a dealer anywhere. Mercury told 18 to 24 months from them. What's a guy supposed to do?

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I have a brand new 150 pro xs for sale. It’s just like this one in the video.

[@kevinvaughan2570]

Brian I need a 175 or 200, my Ranger can run a 200

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

@@kevinvaughan2570 I see! Engines are almost impossible to get right now

[@kevinvaughan2570]

Brian they sure are, I live in Oklahoma, nothing is available here.

[@BASSNGRASS]

Should’ve left the Evinrude on their 😂

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

There *

[@BASSNGRASS]

@@BrianLatimerFishing i'm just giving you a hard time B... boat looks good Nothing wrong with putting a brand new motor on it :)

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

When I see that outboard on a boat I write the boat off mentally lol

[@gatorred157]

i have a ranger 361v i had a newer 60 horse Johnson put on the boat wiring was messed & the dealer rewired & fixed boat so it was use able to go fishing in & that all i wanted rowing sucks the boat was messed with well in storage! & people that said they help they all ran off! because they wanted it cheaper (ie they had O idea what they were doing) to me it was clear I had to wait years to get better i had a hidden in blood line cancer but it was controlled to make you recover and come back to near normal life, (oh your sick i lost 50 lb when 180 normal weight i am at 220 I am still over weight not as much ) i had diet change to fruit's all types and greens and 0 pork or pork hot dogs, its beef and turkey and chicken! i hurt my arm i a shooter the change area of holding on shoulder & coat dose help! I figured i feel better but you can not add water to the lake level!

[@jameswhittington2318]

Don’t forget about fortifying the transom

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Never heard of it.

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

I think if you need to fortify your transom (plate) your hull is probably not well suited for a new outboard.

[@Liz_Zervos]

Really love your Maverick. Oh wait…..

[@charliebieber5633]

I know better than to argue w B Lat in his comment section…but gosh dang has my Evinrude E-tec made my SEATOW membership obsolete since 2007

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

🤣

[@johnk5193]

I just bought my first ever bass boat. A used tracker with a 40 hp mercury on it . I really feel like I’m big time now😂.I love your videos. Thanks for helping and inspiring me😊

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

My first had a 7.5!

[@josephkitchens4831]

Your a Mercury Team member, tell the truth. If you wanted reliability, you would have bought a Suzuki or Yamaha. But i had one of the 150 PROXS 4 strokes and I had no complaints.

[@davemoulding8799]

Nothing wrong with Evinrude I own one it’s a 2000 225 Fitch and runs the balls

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Man there ain’t nothing right with em either 😂

[@justindanley6817]

I probably would not have gone with a mercury for a salt water bay boat .Yamaha are Suzuki .

[@jeffreyriddle4645]

Yeah....I just buy a boat with what engine I want....daaaaang

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

This video is about repowering with a new engine. not buying a boat.

[@jeffreyriddle4645]

@@BrianLatimerFishing 🤣🤣🤣

[@juhavuorinen6305]

That evinrude is 10 times better engine than merc and its 2 stroke, superior tech, faster, better aceleration , way more torque vs 4 stroke

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Nice!
