Sea Eagle 12.6 inflatable boat with Mercury 15HP 2 stroke no load

Myself alone cruising on my Sea Eagle 12.6 inflatable boat with Mercury 15HP 2 stroke on El Granero in the State of Chihuahua Mexico. Altitude 1,100 meters above sea level. Outboard has been modified (carburator jets) to operate at high altitudes. Video recorded on September 2007.

No load except for myself, the gas tank and the outboard. Speed unknown.

keep your two stroke 15hp there better than any four stroke. from what ive expirianced and i work on outboards FOUR STROKE ARE CRAP!

Interesting, what is the basis of your conclusion? It truly would be a bummer since the EPA is pushing towards the cleaner technology that 4 strokes provide, that's why it's so hard to find new 2 strokes in the smaller HP.

Sincerely interested, I've researching my option in changing to either a 20HP 4 stroke or a 25HP 2 stroke.

that is just great man!!!We are goinf to buy a sea eagle and put an electric motor on it for now...but I do want something that can handle 15hp!!!So the question I have for you is...Noticed you put "12.6" but what model is it, can;t tell because your moving so quick lol.

nice thanks 4 the vid, chatted with you at small boat forum long time ago. got a 9.8 on my 12.6.borrowed a 20hp 4strker to try.you'll love it if you man handle it ran awsome just too heavy for me to throw around..keep fishing bud

You'll definitely get MUCH better speeds with that 20hp 4-stroke you're after. Sometimes, even a few additional horsepower can make a lot of difference to get you over that hump that large inflatables need.
