We could probably cremate this vid with a lot of technical jargon about set up n prop pitch n stuff.....but on the whole the every day boater or fisherman is just out for fun n ain't gonna give a hoot about all of that. Getting from point "A" to point "B" is all they are worried about. Good vid defender!
i know in those years yamaha and mercury 9.9s were identical to there 15 model exept for the reeds in the carburetors weighing around 80lbs. moving up to a 20hp was a completely different engine weighing much more. i wonder were evenrude was at that time..
Do you think a 15 4stroke is faster than a 15 2 stroke? Or are you saying a 9.9 2 stroke should be as fast or faster than a 15 4 stroke? I personally think that would be the case.

I appreciate that brother! Thank you!
Great video
Did you have a 9 pitch on the 9.9 and an 11 pitch on the 15?
I wonder if you were hitting full rpm on both.
Thx! Yes, 9 pitch and 11. They seemed like they were the correct pitches for this load.
What size boat is that ?

@@popeyesspinach1128 they were also the same. The 9.9s and 15s.
You should try it between A 15 hp 4 stroke and that 9.9 2stroke and then you would see a big difference

9.9hp is 9.9 hp. Other than the 2 stroke likely being lighter I don’t see why there would be a difference.
Oh yeah!
Wow not that much difference over all.
@@meco72104 I was surprised. Only 1.4 mph difference!
Does a horespower rating determin the speed of a car? My cummins has as much power as i want to turn the fuel supply up for. She wont go above 100
