Curious what you sold the 1436 for? That was one cool jon after the mod...Did you sell it with the 9.9 or without?Quote:

Hate to hear ya had to let her go, at least ya didn't take a beating on it.
new outboard... basically the exact same as my yamaha 15 i just sold with my other boat!!! should have just kept that one instead of having to find a new one and hope it will be a good dependable engine. oh well... it is a short shaft and i will have to cut my transom shorter in order to use this outboard. but i think it will work out just fine. i built this rolling stand for the engine today! works great!!!

propeller question... with this little outboard on a heavy boat... what size/pitch prop would you recommend? 3 blade? 4 blade?
Boat Props for Yamaha 15 HP - 2 stroke / 1984 & newer (8 tooth)
here is some good information about props... but still looking for someone's advice! maybe someone else has put a small outboard on a big/heavy boat? im looking to get the best speed as possible (and i know it will be slow no matter what...)
