LOOKING AT A BOAT WITH A 2007 MERCURY FOUR STROKE . I HAVE NEVER OWNED A MOTOR LARGER THAN A 25 . THIS MOTOR HAS 61 HRS. AND I REALLY LIKE THE BOAT . IF IT HAD A YAMAHA I WOULD HAVE PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY BOAT IS 2000 UNDER NADA VALUE . YOUR THOUGHTS ? I DO NOT WANT TO BUY IT BECAUSE OF MY DESIRE FOR THE BOAT ONLY TO FIND OUT I SHOULD HAVE ASKED .THANKS FOR YOUR IMPUT .
What kind aluminum or glass and what hp. What length?
you might should have picked it up yesterday, I think the 2007 50 hp mercury 4 stroke was made by Yamaha !!!Quote:

Windstone is right......I had a boat one time rated for a 70 and it had a 50 on it....never did like it.....all my other boats since then I have used the max rated motor......just performs better.
I'd get a bigger motor too, but the Merc. 40-50-60 efi motors are great.
I have a bass tracker with a 75 2 stroke but I would trade for a 50 4 stroke. You will lose some speed them 4s are super quiet.
Take it for a test drive coach and if you like it buy it
would have kept mine but was going to have to put larger cmc jack plate and pods . Since I moved even a boat that size is not needed .
I HAVE A MERC 4 STROKE 60 ON MY 17.5 FT TRACKER WILL EASILY DO 40 AND THAT IS WAY TO MUCH SOMETIMES . QUITE AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANYPROBLEMS OTHER THAN I BROKE THE PROP ON SOME ROCKS . GREAT MOTORS .
