Hi All, it has been many months since I updated on this subject. I bought (and plan to resell some of) a couple small outboards toward making my rig fully ready for this coming season. "Short version" is that with only me plus minimal fishing gear a 1998 8hp 2 stroke Evinrude is plenty of...

I am from Western PA originally, as kids we used to catch native brookies 5 minutes from our house. A big one was 8 inches. 10 inches was a WHOPPER. Also fished a lot in Elk/Cameron County, etc. Never saw any rattlesnakes along the streams there but seems to be lot reported now. There was a...

Bill, thanks for input/idea. Those Gamefisher outboards seem to be priced quite a bit lower than other brands. I'm not sure why that is--possibly parts availability??? I owned one a couple years back, it was a 2.5 or 3.5 hp, I put it on a 14ft canoe and it was scary fast. Dangerous, really...

Roy, thanks for input. And I'll apologize in advance to All for a long post. On the Mercury outboards with only a 3 pound difference between 8hp and 15hp I too would definitely use the 15 instead of 8. What are the actual weights (or Model/serialNumbers--Mercury doesn't use Models, right?) of...

Tim, thanks for the input. I am working on buying a 15hp Johnson or Evinrude 2 stroke (or at least a 9.9 that I can convert by changing the carburetor), also I need to dig my duckfoot pushpole out of the shed. The biggest hesitation I have is trailering the 9.9/15hp vs. the lighter 8HP OMC...
