As a kid I had a 8ft Jon boat rated for 3hp. So I put a 7.5hp on it with a slide throttle (Scott Atwater). While doing a top speed run I moved up to the bow to help trim the boat. It started to turn then the motor went full lock sideways spinning the boat on a dime at full throttle. Somehow I got back there and cut off the engine. Lots of fun. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Trust me, one wave over the side of that boat will sink it to the bottom. Be very careful, watch the weather, and use that motor to get you off the lake quick and remember to take the waves head on. Do not let them come upon you from the side.

Some years back we had a 13’ Alumacraft V-hull with a 9.8 Mercury motor. Later we graduated to the larger, flat-bottom, aluminum Tracker. Naturally, the Tracker was an upgrade, but.. there’s a lot to be said for the V-hull, and the way it cuts through the water. We now have a pontoon boat, but I still miss that little Alumacraft.

Love your setup! My son and I are wanting to get a boat for simple fishing and this looks great. We dont need a big fancy bass boat just something to get out there and have some fun.

I ended up with the 1236 because it can fit with trailer inside of my shed out back. Started with a 50 Minn Kota trolling motor, but quickly realized I needed more oomph. 6hp Mercury ended up being the motor I chose, and it get's this very narrow boat up to 19.5mph on a calm lake! That feels very fast for such a tiny boat, I've driven Jet Skis on Vacation before and still feel this tiny aluminum boat feels quick.

Enjoy your bigger little boat I love mine!

I rented a boat with the same motor and I watched this video before and I’m back to tell me everything you said . I was prepared. Never drove a boat ever. Good video.

"let er eat" I like that woman already. Sweet lil boat, I downsized over the years to a jon for lightweight for the kind of fishing I do now. hope to find more of your vids.

Many years ago the family had a camp with three boats. One was a hull like yours but we has an Evinrude 15. Loved it. Quick lil’ bugger.

I see this post is a year old now but I have an Alumacraft 1436 and a 2006 4 stroke mercury she definitely gets the job done as long as the wind is not over 10mph. Good Video brother! Fish On👌🏾

I have a tohatsu 9.8 on mine. Great little motor, quiet, sips gas, starts easy.
By the way, your merc is made by tohatsu. All merc and Suzuki motors 20hp and down are made by tohatsu. They’ve made motors for the Japanese commercial fishing industry for decades.
Make sure you run ethanol eliminator or ethanol free gas
Ohio river? Aurora maybe?

[memphistigers]

Looking to buy my first boat. This looks like so much fun and ideal

[gorockets]

Sweet motor made by tohatsu for mercury since 1988 boys. You also get a 5 year warranty when bought new versus a 3 year from mercury, they are great motor.

Build yourself a jack plate I made one for my dads 14 foot polarcraft with an old 80s model game fisher 15 hp we only moved the motor up about 1 1/2” but it has 5” of setback and that helps your prop get more bite we picked up 4 mph for a top speed of 25

[brianchisnell]

Nice! I have a 15 Merc. 2 stroke on a 12 ft FG Gamefisher. Stout boat. Rated for 14 hp. Scary fast!

[ryang]

Just bought a Lowe 14-40 m with a 9.9 4 stroke on it. Got it for $600 because the engine was seized and gas in the crank case. Drained the crank case and got the engine freed up. Hope to have it on the water this weekend.

[timhall]

we have a lot of 9.9 hp lakes around here ....what everyone does around here is get the tohatsu 9.9 ...then get the spark arrestor and the ecm for the 20 they are both the same cubic inch, bore and stroke ....the ecm and the spark arrestor is the only difference in the motors near hit 30 mph

[williamadams]

That's a pretty smooth ride and quiet

[chopgun]

Great motor to modify as well, make the restricted plate slightly bigger and whack on an 11 pitch prop, you’ll get an extra 5-8mph on it

[wuzgoanon]

Nice motor. I like the 4 stroke engines too.
Your lady has a nice smile.
