    2016 repower 115 merc

    Yes, I run a 3 blade 15x17 aluminum Black Max prop. If I load the boat for a day trip fishing with 1/2 fuel and some water with couple of friends, the motor hits 5800 rpm @ 33 mph.

    2016 repower 115 merc

    I've been running the 90Hp command thrust for a little over a year now on my 22 cruiser and very happy with it. I could not believe the difference in performance. With the larger diameter prop (15x17), extra weight on the transom is no longer an issue. If you run the boat too light, you need to...

    Trailering on Vancouver Island

    Hello Jeff, you should have no problems at all traveling any parts of the highway on Vancouver Island. I've done it many times pulling the Dory with my half ton truck. If heading for the north island fill up your boat at the Petrocan station on the highway, just before Port McNeil. They have...

They do help keep the cutty drier with cross ventilation unless its raining hard, then it becomes necessary to close them due to rain getting in. Its also nice to peek outside without getting out of bed. I also made plexi glass wind...

    ETEC 90 review

    Yes a nice motor indeed, I was considering re-powering with E-TEC, but the price scared me away. The Mercury CT was 30 lbs lighter, still a four stroke and larger displacement with a five year warranty. What really sold me was self maintenance until 300hrs (fluid changes every 100 hrs)." Thats...

    2015 Repower

    Thought I put in my two cents worth here. I just repowered with a new 2015 Mercury 90 command thrust and couldn't be happier. I had a 1997 Honda which is a fine motor and very reliable but doesn't compare to the new Merc. The Mercury swings a big 15x17 prop with the 22 C-dory fully loaded for...
