Has anyone researched an alternative to the Yamaha 9.9 or 8 hp high thrust motors? Is the original 9.9 a 25 inch shaft?

Re: New engines
I think Sandy was involved in a discussion on cruisers forum about this.

it comes down to the Yamaha 9.9 or the Merc bigfoot and the merc was the distant second.

Re: New engines
Honda BF15 was the distant second. Merc didn't make the first cut! Remember; we need the engine to put out its best power at less than 9 knots, not over 15 knots.
