40 Mercury 4 banger Jet is home

[David L. Darnell]

just something about a tiller handle on a Jon just looks sexy to me





I will get me some stick time before I screw down the key switch and the trim, but I already have ideas

Sweet  Get some heavy duty Velcro from radio shack to mount those controls for a while.

[Steve H]

She' real purty!!

[jarrod white]

david, is that a 60/40 ?

[David L. Darnell]

not to sound like a smart a** but it is supposed to be. Papers says it is, it's larger than the 25 for sure but not as large as the photos make it look.

What caught you eye, otherwise or just asking

and a grab rail.  Looks like it will scoot along at a good clip. 

[David L. Darnell]

dealer offered to mount them, told him I'd rather, cause I had a grab bar in mind for standing up and driving, but then I sometimes think about a full flat deck 

[Bfish]

ah an aluminum flats boat   You could put a hatch (very large door), and drop your feet down into the open area underneath,just make sure you have a good latch system to keep the door open while running.  Shut the trap door and presto, instant full deck.

Glenn,

I went out and looked, it is a 4 cylinder, 4 fuel injectors, the book that came with it says, 40 hp and 29.4 Kilowatts

Steve, my dealer is a Mercury Master Mechanic, he said it is a 60 powerhead.

Nice ride David.

[David L. Darnell]

Thanks Mike,

eager to get her wet, see if they got it right on the height, said to come back if I needed to raise it, I will as heavy as it is, Glenn, you and I won't be standing on the boat ramp raising this one, the 25 was hard on our backs

[jarrod white]

I was just curious because I thought you were getting a 40/30 but that motor looks exactly like mine, which is a 60 /40. that boat will haul ass, I bet its 200#'s lighter than mine. Sweet and congrats.

as far as I know Mercury only makes the 25 and 40 four stroke jets, make large 2 smokers. Steve is a quite man, he grins with his eyes, when he tells me about the 40, he smiles and says it will fly, get on plane quick and go as fast as the 25 did at half throttle.

Have you put yours on a GPS ?

At one time Mercury had a 40/30, probably a 2-stroke.  They also had a 35/28 too.
