The "high thrust" motors typically have larger lower units, higher gear ratios, and different props than "standard" outboards , but I believe the powerheads are the same in both types. -- *Lock Trump 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. Thats an odd combination for typical mono hull pleasure boats. Ski boats might be the exception. Did you do a lot of water skilng pulling large people? |
