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.
