Well the problem isnt that I'm bored, I dont mind going slow. The issue is that I needed a motor to do at least two of these three things. ... go shallow, go fast, and cut light grass/weeds. Any two of those would work. Unfortunately, the motor I have does none of those things (well one, kinda). I hunt and fish in areas that have a 10 hp or less restriction as well. The hull is a Hi-Sider, so the hull has a 10 hp limit too. I dont mind going slow so long as I can pull through some weeds. I need to be able to motor into spots that are 2 ft or less, which the current motor can do (I need to be able to hop out in safe, shallow water without being up to my chest!!). I figure if i go fast, I could also cut through weeds fairly easily too.
In conclusion, it seems I just have the wrong motor!!
Would anyone be intrested in a trade for a Suzuki DT6 (great condition) for an older, running, well kept 9 or 9.9 hp two stroke?? ;D ;D
