    2 blade or 3 blade prop

    I have a 1974 Mercury 200, 20hp outboard with what I assume is the original 2 blade prop. My boat is a 14 foot deep v aluminum fishing boat with a capacity of 950 pounds. Currently the hole shot is a little sluggish but top end speed is outstanding, actually a little scary at times. I primarily...

    65 HP big enough?

    I have recently purchased a 17' Cobia bowrider without a motor. It is a deep v with lots of freeboard. I plan to use the boat for fishing Lake Erie and would like to have the capability of getting of the lake in a hurry should things turn nasty. I found a 1974 65 HP Mercury for a great price and...

    Johnson 88 SPL one cyl low

    Ok I'm taking my first plunge into the iboat pool here.<br />I am looking to purchase a very nice 88 that carries 110 PSI on three cylinders and very low PSI on the fourth. The owner (an outboard mechanic)is willing to part with it as-is for cheap and suggests that I hone the three good...
