Want to go faster

[Griffin]

In terms of go fast there is not a comparison between a 90 Yamaha and a 90 merc. If they are stock motors the merc will win every time

I'd like to hear your explanation for this

[Rebelyeller]

Y'all boys need to hit up the legend, the #1 boat racer.

Ive been trying to tell these boys that!

[Rebelyeller]

I'd like to hear your explanation for this

Cause mercs are fast and yamahas are reliable. Not sure about the 90s but with the 40hps its cubic inches.

No I want to hear Griffins explanation

[tman]

Me too

[rutbuck]

Never forget this piece of work..
A possible explanation

[Griffin]

No I want to hear Griffins explanation

Literally word for word what he said. Ask wetreed. He has owned the same hull with both motors.
I will say the 90 Yamaha is easier to mod and make faster overall but stock vs stock on the same hull a 90 merc is gonna smoke a 90 Yamaha.

And don't turn this into a ford vs Chevy pissing contest. I own 2 yamahas, a merc and even a mudbuddy.

[Gone South]

I just wanted to know your reasons, considering the Yamaha has 2.0 gears and merc has a slower 2.33:1 ratio

[Griffin]

Gears don't really mean much when you prop is the the equivalent of a final drive on a car so to speak. Obviously the merc will turn a taller prop

[Gone South]

So in terms of your glitter boats, a 1.62 Mercury lower unit wouldn't have an advantage over a 2.0 gear? I'd disagree, a 2.0 ratio with its proper pitched prop will require more hp to turn than a 1.62 and its equivalent prop

[Griffin]

Didn't realize we were talking about glitter boats. So why don't all glitter boats run 1.62s?
I have owned 1.62s and 1.75s have you?

[Gone South]

Yeah and The 1.62 will be faster than the 1.75. Just like the 2.0 vs the 2.33. The physics still apply

[Griffin]

Yep now I know you haven't owned both and have officially added you to the moondick list

[Gone South]

So what were the numbers you saw with both 90s on the same hull?

[tman]

Yeah and The 1.62 will be faster than the 1.75. Just like the 2.0 vs the 2.33. The physics still apply

You ain't never owned a bass boat!

[Griffin]

So what were the numbers you saw with both 90s on the same hull?

I don't own one. Going fast in a Jon boat is for pheasants.

Fordblue excluded

[Gone South]

I'm not saying that I owned one tman

[Griffin]

I have however owned a pad hull flats boat with 1.62s and 1.75s. It ran 72 with the 1.62s and 78 with the 1.75s.
There is a few more variables involved in your physics there turbo
