Looking to repower my 2004 Lund Alaskan 1600 Tiller. Currently have a 25 Bigfoot on it, and want to move up to a 50, which is the hulls max rating for a tiller.
One of my options is Yamaha, and a local Yamaha dealer is pushing the T50, rather than the F50, as he feels the ability to push a larger prop is a good idea. This advice seems to run counter to the common belief I've seen in my searches here. All things held equal, what would I notice as a difference between the F50 and the T50?
I mainly use the boat for fishing, but with a 4 y/o I can see that some tubing may be in my future as well.
