This is how an outboard should sound.
The boat is 16' 8".
Engine 200hp, heads have been shaved, exhaust ported, solid motor mounts, plastic reeds, 26" chopper prop for maximum bow lift.
Completely striped down, 2 guys and a full bag of fuel, it will run in the low 90's on a slick day.

  • its just a standard 6" plate.

    The boat is rated for a 150

    I have sold this boat since the youtube posting.

    I bought an X19 Xpress, and love it!!

  • put it up then!

    a 115 is an inline engine, and it wont bust off like a v6.

  • 28" chopper prop

  • sounds good man! I have an 86 mariner 200 on a 16.8 winner hull that will set the water on fire as well. I run a hoss 27 pitch offshore cleaver. But it seems that the ones who run new engines like the 300sx and the 300x dont believe these old merc's will turn the R's and run in the 90's.stupid nay sayers! whats the hull you're using?

  • its a Dawson. HydroSport made the same identical hull.

    its light and fast. The only thing about it, it will chine walk at 73 mph, once past 80, your fine.

see all

  • LOVE THAT VINTAGE MERC!!...GOT ME A 1993 75 MERC ON MY 78 15FT WHALER....NOTHING LIKE THIS BUT STILL A GOOD TIME!

  • U havant hered a nice sounding mercury untill u heard 1 with pipes like the old mercury stackers of the 60s,70s.Now thats music 2 my ears.

  • what kind of jack plate? and how in the world do you have this big ass motor on this boat I have one just like it with a 140 eveninrude and its really more than it can handle cause its only rated for a 120

  • you would get even quicker if you get a perfromamce high speed gear box, you will lower resistance and turn the prop quicker

  • No it doesn't... lol
