can anyone tell me the difference? The "high thrust"

Up!* Yes, that was the case with the Mercury 60 Big Foot that
came with the 16 and a half foot Legend bow rider I owned a few
years ago. They claimed it had the same lower end as the 90 and had
a special larger high thrust propeller. I believe it was originally
popular for pontoon boats.
"They claimed"? That's hilarious! Only you buy boats on a
salesman's word and look what that got you. The reason they are
popular for pontoon boats is that they can move a heavier load, at
slow speed, more efficiently. They were never designed for the hull
style, and weight, of the POS Legend you wasted your money on. They
probably had a Bigfoot laying around at the dealership and sold it
to the first dip**** to walk in. That salesman probably got a nice
commission for unloading that from their inventory.

Boy...y'all are getting more ditzy by the day.
The boat manufacturer offered the 60 Big foot as an upgrade from the
base 40 hp outboard.
Y'all should keep your pie hole shut unless you know what you're
blathering about.


Jorge does know what he is talking about. You probably got an
unbelievable
deal to take that mistake off Legends hands.


Alex is the dweeb who allegedly pays full price or more for
non-collectible, run of the mill firearms, and usually not even the
best of their kind.


You have no idea what the value is.Â* Some are prototypes that can't be
valued.Â* Also, these are charity auctions that offer a small tax
deduction.Â* You wouldn't understand taxes so I won't bore you with the
details.
