It was a little chilly that day.

It was fun though.

I bought that motor last year, it's supposed to be one of the last 2 strokes Merc made. It's a 2006 model. Merc actually sold 2 strokes in Canada a bit longer than they did in the U.S. Anyhoo, I got one of the last of the breed. It goes like stink on that boat. :devil:
 
Man thats pretty fast for a row boat!:eyecrazy::surf:

Those sure are fun. One of my very first boats was a 12' aluminum with a 9.9 merc what a blast that little thing was. I boat in the ocean and had some pretty hairy rides in that thing as a kid. I had to keep a cinder block in the bow just to get it going!lol I wouldnt mind owning another one though... ride all day for under $5.00 cant beat that:bigthumb:

Chris it looks like you need to trim up the 25 a little and get some more bow lift.

maybe a lil jack plate and a chopper. lol

Six gallons in twenty minutes? Oh my gosh! That's why I stick with small boats with motors no bigger than 25 ponies!
