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? |

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. |

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. 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. |
