    I was at the boat ramp and saw a small flats boat leaving. It had a small flat side console with a 25hp mercury. It was basically a mini flats boat. Anyone know the brand of this boat or one's like it?

    What boat for my 9.9 mercury *Long Shaft*

    I have a 1989 9.9 mercury long shaft, the boat it was on sprung a leak and died but I saved my outboard, what is a good new boat brand that will use a 9.9 long shaft? This motor runs so nice because it has extremely low hours and new motors are so exspensive.

    1985 evinrude 30hp (With video again!)

    Once you watch the video you can tell that the motor will rev up and then I guess "sneeze" and sometimes die but usually keeps running. What can cause this, what can I check for? I really want to fish this weekend. Thanks Movie: http://www.floridacoasts.com/motor.MOV
