Ahh, yes...the very quality all the women in your life said you lacked.


You seem to still be stuck in angst of your teen years.



Bilious, I don't give the uninformed opinions of Trumpsters any mind. I
had a pretty angst-free teenagehood, to coin a word.

Yet you respond to them all. Maybe it's just your narcissism acting 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.

Unlike you, he doesn't make up bull**** stories about them!

I'm surprised your little woman hasn't lopped off your thruster. I'm sure
she tired early of a 350 pound gorilla thrusting at her delicate little
****.

LOL!

A bit gross, I admit but he's gotten so dense that its hard to insult him

The big foot(Merc) high thrust (Yamaha) allows a larger diameter prop.
The bigger L/U on a light mono hull is probably not a good idea. The
standard model will get you a little more speed because of less drag.
If you look at the L/U on racing hulls the first thing you see is a
very thin gear case. The advantage of a big foot on a work boat might
be useful but not a speed boat.
If you have a pontoon or other displacement hull, swinging that bigger
wheel will give you much better low speed performance, like docking in
the wind and have minimal WOT impact since you are basically pushing a
brick through the water anyway. If you have a ski boat, that extra
thrust will help you yank skiers out of the water faster but people
don't typically have the 40-70 HP motors on ski boats.

Interesting that some newbie asks a reasonable question here and a
couple of the reigning assholes, of which "Harry" is a ranking member,
immediately turn it into trash.

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.

That's not what the salesman told him.Â* He said it was a free upgrade!
