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

Y'all should keep your pie hole shut unless you know what you're blathering about. A 60 hp would be an upgrade if in a standard motor. The Big Foot and my Yamaha T-8 high thrust are for displacement hulls. My T-8 has the lower end of a 25 horse for the strength and a lower gear ratio, and a larger propeller. Moves lots of water, but at a slower speed. Would figure the same for the Big Foot. Designed for displacement hulls. My T-8 has a 11.75” diameter 5 pitch propeller as opposed to a standard 8 hp of 8.5” and 9.75 pitch. Will move my boat a max of about 6 mph, which is hull speed, and will troll at less than 1 mph at idle. When I used my Mariner 15hp 2 stroke as a kicker, I could get about 4 mph max and a lot of churned up water. Would troll, but at a higher rpm. |

"Jorge" Our little Kanuckian friend never heads the good advice we gave him. The one exception was when we shamed him out of buying a powered tongue wheel to push his little boat around his yard. |
