Thread: I need advice for buying a fishing boat

I changed from a thirsty 150 Johnson v6 2stroke to a 150 merc efi 4 stoke in 2013 that now motor was an absolute game changer for us never skipped a beat soo reliable 1st start every single time , waaaay better on gas so quiet when idiling i occasionally try to start the motor thats already going. I have a 12 foot starcraft with a 8hp (evinrude i grew up as a dedicated OMC fan) when we had the 2stroke we used the 12 footer around the bay setting nets ferry people about to save gas on the bigger boat. Since i got the merc the 12 ft has been left on the foreshore and not used since - must get rid of it and the motor.

Those 115 merc 4strokes have a good rep too.

When i upgraded to a new boat last year i got it priced with the 150 but my darling wonderful love her tobits wife said

“Go on get the 200 you won’t be happy if you don’t”

200 v6 is brilliant gotta make sure people are holding on when i hit the gas as the acceleration could darn near put them in the tide !
