What the hell you dumb ass! Big Foots are for pontoons and trolling
motors. Not main motors on skiffs. You are spinning a larger prop, with
higher engine rpm's for the same prop speed. Is for going slow,and
powerful. My 15 hp mariner would have cavitation trying to run my 21' boat
hull speed, and would rev a lot higher. My T-8 Yamaha High Thrust (big
foot) will drive the boat hull speed, and will not drive a skiff anywhere
as fast as a standard gearbox.
