He's got a four stroke on his bass boat. I'm sure he knows the deal.

Great motor Justin and looks awesome. I do have one suggestion though as you need to maybe put a piece of1x1 in the gap between the motor and transom that it sits down on something solid as over time or if you hit something you don't break the motor mount. I also agree with another suggestion I seen of adding a piece of plywood on the transom as well to give you a little stronger transom as that would be some that you could attach the 1x1 to that it also has something solid to attach to as well giving you a more solid transom as well. As I don't know if you know how much wear has already been put on the transom with bumps and bangs it's took from the old motor and stuff it may have hit. Maybe even make the 1x1 a little long that it extends pass the motor mount that a screw could be screwed in at the top into the transom to hold the 1x1 better as well. And as you know silicon is your best friend when you own any boat. Just speaking from what I seen in my Marine Patrol days as not a boat builder but have seen some boats like that where the motors that size tore out the transom because they were not strengthen a little more. Best wishes on your new motor and be safe as can't wait to see how she runs.

Shoot Man! You got my heart rate up with the bobcat situation.

Mercury sponsorship, that's hitting the big time. I really enjoy watching your home grown success.

I have that same motor! Minus the power trim/tilt. Its been runnin’ strong every weekend since 2015. Definitely a dependable workhorse and easy to maintain.

Love your vibe, calm chill, getting work done. Appreciate it.

15 inch transom with a 20 inch mid section, no go.

I have the same motor on my 17 ft. Tracker boat and I love it.

Been watching you for several years. Back before you hit 100k in subs. It’s been an awesome adventure and pleasure tagging along. Excited for you to hit that sweet million 👍🏽

Bought a new Lowe 1860 Roughneck Center Console with a 60hp Mercury 4 stroke recently and love it. The Merc 4 stroke runs great, is quiet and definitely sips on the gas. Enjoy it. I put the first 20 hours on it quick and am preparing for first oil change.

Coming from experience you need to transfer the weight of the battery and the gas tank in the front. with the weight of you, the new engine, battery and two 6 gallon tanks your back end will sit significantly lower in the water line then you would want. Also this will great reduce the stress on the engine and transom by getting it on plain faster. Much love brother!

There are so many points in this video that I am like really, is this your first time around boats and motors Justin? 4 stroke mixes the oil itself? Never drilled a hole in a boat before? Didn't know the kill switch had to be on? Wrong length shaft?

You and flair are my favorite googans. That merc looks so nice with the trim feature.

You might want to get a transom saver bar for towing with the increased weight going from 2 stroke to 4 stroke if you are worried about the transom at all. Love your stuff, both channels are great. Thanks for the great content year after year.

Nice video! A new motor on your boat is like Christmas x100, lol. I just finished my second summer with my 2021 25 HP Yamaha 4 stoke. I cant say ANYTHING bad about it! It was a dream! 4 stoke 25's fuel economy are insane. It was fast enough to traverse any lake all day long. But for me with 2 people in the boat fishing and with 150 pounds of gear, i had one small annoyance. I could always get on plane, but it always took some proper placement of weight to make it easy do do so. ( This is on an soft bottom Inflatable, hard bottoms are different, so I cant speak to those ) That said, my 16 foot soft bottom inflatable is max rated to take a 40HP. So I am making the switch in 2 months.... Stoked! and from what I have been seeing on other videos, getting on plane will take 2 seconds with the extra 15 HP. .... anyways happy boating!

As always great video, can't wait to see it run.

My dad used to fish billfish tournaments in South Florida and his team was offered a sponsorship with mercury and they gave them a chance and after 6 months of problems and repairs they said "you can have your mercuries back" and they bought all new Yamahas. Our boat right (Sailfish 2660) now has had the same Twin Yamahas 150s on them for over 10 years and they haven't had ANY problems. (With normal maintenance).

You’re gonna regret leaving Yamaha and going to Mercury just like Chevy😂

Happy for you lfg thats a awesome lil boat

Just got a 30 exactly like that it runs great and I love it

Let’s see that bad boy run!!!

Just picked up a new 75 Mercury for my 16ft Mirrocraft. It's going to be a long winter as it's sitting at the Marina until the spring to be installed. Looking foward to the new 4 stroke experience and fuel savings.

Laughed more than I thought I would at “motor install” video. Nicely done‼️

Measure the distance from top of transom to mount. Find square aluminum tubing and slide between hook over on mount and transom. Just additional support.

Enjoyed the video and the whole family thing. Bright future. 🇺🇸

just got a brand new 25 hp for my 14 ft jon boat and it hauls!!!

Cant wait to see you get a prop on the crispy machine!

Just bought a mercury. 2.5 hp for my 12 ft 1987 coleman jon boat. Good power for a small engine.

Friendly piece of advice, you might want to put a spacer or buffer between the gas tank and the bolt you sawed off before it wears a hole in your gas tank!

Nice setup.

I saw you while you were doing your video in the headquarters and I love your videos

Nice work LFG 👍🏻

Great job Justin God bless you also

I noticed when you first put it on, its looks like they gave you a long shaft motor and your boat has a short shaft transom. I would try to get a short motor from them or add a jack plate to really get the motor where it should be. Also with that long of a motor it will really take away from shallow waters you got that boat for. Not to mention it will be hard to handle with all the drag from the motor being so deep.

Looks good on the crispy, agree probably needed a 15" shaft but all good . Son, you will be able to Wa Bam something soon!!

Awesome! You need a jack plate to get the cavitation plate level or slightly higher than the hull.

Awesome, congrats.... definitely get a separate battery, the charging system on that is not meant to charge a deep cycle and could ruin it....hook your lights and bilge pump to the starting battery. I suggest a group 24 dual purpose. I also hope you followed proper break in or that motor won't last like it should

Just to re-hash other comments: 1. Needed short shaft (15") 2. Need welded transom bracing 3. Motor still need to be raised more. Cavitation plate 1" below keel line is best 4. Separate batteries. 1-Marine starting, 1-Marine/RV deep cycle 5. Way better off with a Yamaha sponsor (I am a Yamaha guy!) 6. OSG's hat was cute!
