ok so mutliple questions. i am looking at buying a 16' v hull alum. with a newer 9.9 merc., now as dumb or odd as this sounds if i wanted to buy an additional 9.9 to double up is that practical? if so does year and mfg have to be the same? do i have to buy some additional steering adjustments, if so how costly?(oh ya its a boat that has a steering package/throttle everything installed for the 9.9merc already). I havent seen a boat that had a steering/throttle/speedometer/tach installed on a 9.9merc before but im not that salty of a boater, only been a boat owner a moderately short time.
and guys please dont give me an argumentative or non-decisive answer, seems like every post has a "you didnt give enough info, or environment" this is in general doesnt need to be exact. Not to be an as$ but dont want a bunch of diff. answers leading knowhere, i know like choosing a car depends on a variety of things BUT in general is all i need. This boat will mostly be used for inshore saltwater bay fishing, lakes, and on the occasional calm day ocean fishing(dependent upon the weather) but dont wanna get stranded a mile out.
