Awesome video on the installation.I had a 60 hp 4 stroke merc for 6 years it never missed a beat. Regular maintenance is all is needed. You are in for many years of enjoyment.
Yours never missed a beat? I have a 60 hp on mine with less than 20 hours and it will run fine at first but when u back the throttle down it sputters out and then won’t run again. Just happened to me yesterday actually. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Dude that awesome, congrats on the upgrade, you guys crushed this in 3 days. I bet that motor his gonna hit 40 mph once it’s broken in and you can full throttle 🙌🏽
That build is beyond badass!
Dude, seriously, that's awesome!
Only channel on YT that makes me jealous every damn upload. Awesome upgrade👊
Lots of smiles to come. The motor is awesome!
The motor does not come with a prop
Nice upgrade!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
awesome build man
Great job man awesome 🔥💯👍
Awesome man, I wanna get a newer outboard. I have a 90’s Mercury 90/65 Jet on my 16’ alumaweld. She rips 40mph up river here in wa 😁
Those new tiller from mercury are awesome! I wish there were mor videos on them
Very awesome sir.
I want to thank y’ll again. With all your advice and support. The transom almost finished and it looking great. Beaver pods are mounted too. Just doing the supports for the 85 hour motor. Again thank you.
Heck yeah!
Hard to argue with stock inclusive with electronics as standard these days but absolutely great to see Mercury Outboards moving in this direction as Evinrude had been doing for Years before having the plug pulled needlessly on that operation.
Anyhow seating looks a tad uncomfy if even non-existent (at the moment?) but I like the idea of a full walk around on any type of working water-craft especially in the "small-ish" form factor.
BEAST !!
Very nice.
Sweet!
I'm curious what your stats will be when u can open it up a little more
This up grade is awesome . Are you gonna add back splash at all or just leave it the same?
Congrats!! That’s awesome
In your opinion which is the best fuel primer bulb to buy and why Thanks.
G’day from Australia, looking at a very similar option for my 4.4m tinny
Excellent!!! How much did the big tiller cost?
Привет из России. Огонь лодка. Огонь мотор.👍👍👍
I just got a new fifty in October. They wouldn't mount the 60 on my boat because the tag only says 50 even though it's the same weight.
40/50/60 are all the same motor.
I'm going to get a 90 and just hope it doesn't ever need warranty work because they won't do it mounted to the boat
What is the total weight of the boat, outboard, people, and gear?
everyone has one of those friends
I want to do this to my 18-ft Maritime skiff. I'd have so much room without the center console
I need to strengthen my transom and also raise the motor 2-3 inches. Would it work with a U-shaped bent stainless steel plate to put on the transom? Im thinking 1mm stainless steel. Love your videos
Mercury Power Gamoniu 👍😅💪🥇
Awesome that's the motor I'm looking for how much did it cost
Congrats man...I'm curious to see what you come up with when you prop it after the break in...I'm gonna go ahead and bet you could get away with a 15 or maybe even 17 pitch prop eventually, very curious to see. Also, please stop using channel locks on nuts and bolts🤣🤣 bad ass video man.
So how fast is it now that it's broken in at WOT? And why a 4 blade aluminum propeller and not a 3 blade stainless steel propeller? I'm in a 17ft Aluminum Sea Ark with a 06 Mercury Optimax 115hp with a Solas 21P stainless steel. Loaded with gear and just myself 45-46 mph @ 5,800 RMP. Up to 3 people 45 mph. I've wondered if a new four stroke Mercury 115hp with a different prop would get me in the low 50's. Since the new Mercury 115hp can turn 6,300 RPM's. I hate my little tiny rod locker. Be very nice to be able to remodel it. So it would at least be user friendly. My boat has had the carpet replaced with thinker padding. But it's got some age on it now. I really like the flooring you fellas install. I most definitely need to put some of that flooring on my Ultrax foot control. On very hot days. I'm having to poor water on it and my tan colored carpet. Awesome tiny custom bass boats by the way.
Great lookin rig!! Some great catches too!👍🎣🐟🐟
What prop did you end up
Going with? I’ve got a 2020 60hp command thrust on my tracker grizzly 20’ x 72” tiller and can’t seem to find the right prop for it.
It was a 13 pitch 4-blade
Tilt and trim button at end is what I had on my Honda
its crazy how much money is spent on stuff just to catch fish, I love it looks sick
🔥🔥🔥
That’s awesome man. I need some advice I got a 2000 crestliner 1600 fish hawk. I’m running a 40hp Honda 4 stroke I want to upgrade the motor to see if I can make it faster. My boat is rated for a 70hp but was thinking maybe getting a 75hp Mercury or Honda. What you think? Any advice from your experience. Hope to hear back from you thank you.
Either of those will be good
What kind of prop you running.I got a problem with my 60 not planning fast enough.fells like I'm doing a wheely for a minute before it flattens out.I put the motor on a 17 foot allumicraft.gonna try buying a different prop for it and see if that helps.
I had a 13 pitch four blade. I can’t imagine any boat within a 16 to 17 foot range not planning on that.
What's the wot speed?
Awesome build but at what point do we stop calling them a tiny boat? I mean it has a 60 more like a tricked out bass tracker
Yeah. Its not a tiny boat anymore.
A motor dont magically add feet in length 🤣. Its still the same size. Its still "tiny"
She very smart
I have the same 60hp and am looking to do the same big tiller conversion. Having a hard time finding that exact same tiller handle kit with the power tilt. Would you happen to still have the part number for that kit? Great video btw.
I would call Fallon Marine. They are familiar with the changes made to the upgrades
@@TinyBoatNation Roger that, thank you!
Where did you buy the motor? Did you get to choose where the motor gets shipped to? I would like to order one online straight from the manufacturer, but can't find the website to do it.
Contact Fallon Marine in Lake Havasu
DID 1/16 angle do ok with this motor. ??? How’s it holding up. Would 1/16th be ok on 16 ft boat with 40 hp motor ?
You could definitely tell there was flex to the frame at 35mph
Very nice! I did a conversion from my 50 to a 60 on my Bass Tracker Classic XL earlier in the year and the difference is nothing short of STELLAR. I'd bet anything you'd have no problem at all turning a 16 pitch propeller on yours as I run a 15 on mine right now and run about 42 MPH @ 5950 RPM. Your speeds will likely be similar or greater. Switch out to a Trophy Sport once you are all broken in and you'll have a LIGHTNING fast holeshot (I'd probably say in your case a 2 second holeshot). If you need any help propping it let me know as there is more to the 1.0L class motor then most people know.
Expect to see an average fuel economy of about 7.8- 8.0 MPG on your rig, but that will vary of course based on how much throttle you are giving it at all times, and also the overall weight of your rig.
The 1.0L (40-60 HP) class Mercury is my bread and butter motor at this point when it comes to optimizing it's performance, so if you have any questions on it, feel free to ask away.
Keep up the great content!
Hello would you happen to know if a stock Mercury Optimax 115hp has any more hidden horsepower? Thanks
@@toddrodgers908 the stock 115 Mercury motor is at the top of it's HP class and shares the 2.1 platform as the 75 HP engine. You are topped out unfortunately and the next class up is the 150 HP.
I've thought about doing this with my 4cyl 996cc 50hp Yamaha outboard since all it needs is the 60hp ecu and a bigger prop but getting the ecu right now is tough
I nearly got a mercury but made in China is not my thing
Hello, What is the Coast Guard Max. HP listed for that boat ?
60
Would that vessel view work with Tohatsu 2023 motor 50 hp
Umm.. idk. I believe Mercury actually makes this motor and it’s not. It’s awhite label.
What ended up being the top speed after break in ??
35mph with a 13 pitch 4 blade
How did you source the tiller kit?
Fallon Marine Lake Havasu
Why the command thrust on a smaller boat like that, because im doing the same hp motor on a jon boat with a custommade transom from nate in Pekin.
It’s not command
🤘
Would you consider adding a steering console at any point?
@@TinyBoatNation Better to have the inside and floor space than a steering wheel.
Looking at my doing my first big jon boat remodel.
I have an older 18ft Lowe Jon Boat with an old 30hp 2stroke Mariner on the back and I’m ready to be able to turn the key instead of pull a cord lol. Do you guys have a transom replace for an older Lowe that size, I would like to replace the transom before repowering the boat.
Yes, on our website. Tbnation.net. you can get one custom, or one that is cut to fit.
If you want clarity you should go to 16 V lithium batteries exclusively 4 play 4 electronics. Is sold exclusively by powerhouse lithium batteries.
What is the overall length of your boat?
@@TinyBoatNation wow. And you have a 20 inch transom. I have a 16’3” Lund angler that is only rated for a 50. / 750 pounds including people gear etc.
New here, what qualifies a boat for the term, "Tiny boat"? I also fish Havasu.
DIY custom boat
Đẹp
So what she's saying is, completely negate the torque load on the transom from a motor larger than rated by the manufacturer. Got it!👌
Always been a advocate of maxing out hp rating when possible. Nothing worse than getting a new motor and being disappointed in speed
Tell me about it...
U are a lucky man. I have a 50 evinrude Hardly any weight. I hit 25 on a 16 ft .
I have a 16 ft Jon boat with a Mercury 2 stroke 25 HP that goes 29 mph, your boat must be very heavy or prop is wrong
Yeah I have deep v
you got somethin wrong man. I have a deep vee 16 alumacraft with a 15 yammy 4 stroke(has a 20 carb on it now) that gets a hair over 20 mph gps, thats with the motor buried way too low on the transom, livewell, 2 batteries, 4 seats on pedstals, bimini up. I figger i got a few more mph in raisin the motor up, maybe a bigger prop etc
Yeah I always thought prop might be wrong. But boat is heavy and it’s long shaft I need transom mount to get motor away from back of boat I lottery have 4 in riser attached to top of transom
No no dude, I’ve got 2” bolts😂😂😂😂😂😂
I must admit (but probably should have guessed) that I did not know that the Mercs are made in China. What then do they make in WI?
I bought a Tohatsu 50hp outboard for my boat, because it was cheaper and all their outboards are made in Japan. So far, I've got over 250 hours on it and it's been absolutely bulletproof. I also like the stainless steel water pump housing and the integral fresh water flush system, since I operate in saltwater frequently.
Additionally, I believe all Mercury outboards of 60hp and lower are made in China, while their higher power models are built in the US.
Tohatsu has been making small mercury engines for a long time. I think they are building everything up to the Verado 250 and bigger. Which are made in W.I.
@@frankslaman3950 tohatsu makes em for merc 2.5-30hp since 2002. 40-60 made in China in merc facility, they made thousands and these motors are pretty reliable. The assembly of 75 and up are in with global parts. Tohatsu used to use Honda for 75 and up, they are now in house.
I've never seen a 4 stroke ship with oil in it head would be full of oil
How big is that boat is it rated for 60 hp?
@@TinyBoatNation That is completely illegal to do.You can not legally put a 60 hp motor on a boat thats rated for 50 hp at least not here in The state of Pa.
@@barryseifert6053 Yep up here in Montana an inspection would yield a ticket! And yes I've have a warden double check my boat as I have 75 hp Merc which looks to big for my boat but boat is rated for a 75. Then again take the 60 decals off and no one will know the difference.
@@slivers4007 most inspectors are smart enough to know if u remove decal something is up. 50/60 are same motor same weight. If it's 50hp rated should be fine with 60hp unless something happens then they will want to see capacity stickers.
Shoulda got a Bob's Marine jackplate. That Atlas is going to give you problems.
Going good so far!
Near here he is the only make fiberglass only
JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Good morning,how much is the moto,i like your moto,there is no 60ph marcury moto liket that hare,need to order
7k
OK,TQ
How do I contact you. I want to know if you do custom builds? I want to see about u building me a boat.
Support@TBNation.net
I bought it. Now ı give back.
There is a problem at transmission box. They can't solve it. Normally ı like it's body design ... But there is a serial mistake in this series .
In Turkey.
Good to know, thanks.
This motor had 0 hours & you don't made the break in at first?
I did break it in
The 60 is illegal for the boat - please give me a break! With all the modification done to the boat itself you would consider the whole boat illegal them. Would you be happy if he put a 50hp sticker over the 60?
That is completely illegal to do.You can not legally put a 60 hp motor on a boat thats rated for 50 hp at least not here in The state of Pa.
@@TinyBoatNation Are you kidding ? Did you just call my state a s@#t hole?
You sound fun at parties Barry
@Carlos Leila no its not you nit wit. I ran a 150 merc on a 15 whaler rated for 70 hp lol got stopped by the s fl fish cops all the time, they never said a thing about twice the hp and then some hangin off the back.
That sux.
That's a tiny boat?
Don't think so.
Hmm… kinda going away from the whole “tiny boat” thing… #poser
Nope - Tiny Boats are built, not bought
@@chrisroberts3963 that can't be the criteria. People build 50 ft yachts by hand.
@@josephdiesing8506 and how does that play into the tbn?
@ertren6, @chris Robert’s said tiny boats are built. My point is.. just because it’s built doesn’t mean it’s tiny. Big boats are built too.
At some point the size of the boat and motor exceeds the capability of being considered “tiny”
Is that “60hp”?
Is that anything longer than 15’?
Idk, I don’t make the rules, but this boat is definitely pushing the whole “tiny concept”
@@josephdiesing8506 I feel like 16...maybe even 15 ft is pushing what a tb means, sure. But why does the motor size matter?
Channel is unwatchable there is so much ad pollution,every 3 minutes 2 ads no thanks sorry bro
