I have the honda and it gets my heavy fiberglass boat to 17 knots.

Springses123 - 4 years ago

Most of these are 9.9 not 10 hp

the narrator sounds pissed,, and these engines weren't fitted properly.. waste of time watching this.

Cracking video.Found this one check the prices out cheap as chips in the links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzYGaZTliuA

Look after your old 2 stroke, never mind these 40kg anchors. Got a 2003 15hp Mercury 2 stoke, 32kg....it flies, will push a boat like this over 22 knots easy. Got all the "modern features" too, throttle/gear combo etc.

yoran vaatstra 2 stroke has more torquee and run Good if you have A 90s 00s 2 stroke

yoran vaatstra - 5 years ago

@Basalt Rock used to have 1999 merc 9.9 2 stroke. Now i have a suzuki 9.9 from 2015 and i can say that the suzuki is the overall better engine for sure

@yoran vaatstra Does, doesn't, is.

But wont run this smooth and it will stink and is not as reliable

I have a 10 foot homemade flat-bottom boat that I run in Puget Sound with a 6 horse that goes 17 knots. Having a well trimmed engine (unlike the Suzuki) and the proper pitch prop would increase the performance numbers drastically.

I’m looking to upgrade on my current Honda 5hp which is currently on my seago 290. Which 10hp outboard would make it go the fastest?

GlimzyVlogs - 4 years ago

@Gordon Smith i meant to make it a 15 hp Engine, its very easy but it has to be a fairly New one

Gordon Smith - 4 years ago

@GlimzyVlogs Can you explain the second sentence please?

GlimzyVlogs - 4 years ago

I would reccomend a 9.9 yamaha. You can trim it to a 15 hp in a few fixes!

put the mariner up 1 click its hanging at too big an angle

John Brisbane - 5 years ago

Dissappointing conclusion. Thumbs down. I want my time spent back.

Fiveo waf - 5 years ago

Felt the same, I'm looking at a 10hp and felt I learned nothing from this or reading the magazine article, the fact the Suzuki was a long shaft motor tells you all you need to know about the value of the overall results.

Estevens Sousa - 5 years ago

In addition to having to regulate the trim of 2 motors, if you want somebody besides those of your country to follow your videos, see if you will take lessons in diction because yours is horrible. It looks like you have two boiled potatoes boiling, in your mouth as you speak. I Could not understand a shit of what you said, besides the engines brands !

dfgdfg - 5 years ago

thanks for talking about backwash, silent mess that ruins an outboard

Sky Juice - 6 years ago

14 Knots on Yamaha 9.9 aye? My 2.3 Honda goes 12 knots trimmed.

Fiveo waf - 5 years ago

What props did they use? At the end of the day 9.9 hp is just that, correctly set up I doubt there would be that much difference in performance, perhaps a little with the heavier Honda depending on the boat, but the same power should give about the same performance all other things being equal.

Hi Guys. I love this video. I’d very much like for you to join my Facebook group and share your inflatable boat experience and knowledge with the members if you could? Or even just to have a nose around. It’s https://www.facebook.com/groups/949885911828565/Many thanks. Carlo

Can u guys have group tests with a mercury?

e m - 6 years ago

I would not consider this a valid review for US buyers. Hands down the Suzuki 9.9hp is the best. It is the only 9.9hp that currently offers EFI.... Fastest Starting Most Reliable with todays Ethanol fuel!

Eirik Blodøks - 5 years ago

Evans Channel yea, i had the 30hp Suzuki Lean burn before it came out in 2015. Best outboard engine ive ever had.. sold the 15ft rib and bought a little dingy instead. Easier to have back on the boat. It has a 1980 Suzuki 3.5hp. Im really impressed with it.. tohatsu is also one of my favorite outboard engines.

lewis knock - 6 years ago

where did you get he boat and the engine from

Lee Wescott - 6 years ago

Why can't you give the top speed of all of the engines. As I have a inflatable rib same as the one you tested them on and I am looking to purchase a new 10hp and I want to purchase the One with the best top speed for my boat

how to get fast on plane with a small 270 rib with 6hp

Skylar Braden - 7 years ago

Kevin Li what year?

Kevin Li - 7 years ago

i got the mercury 9.9 and i haven't test it out yet. it's winter in CANADA and the lake is frozen into ice

Skylar Braden - 7 years ago

Kevin Li get an old Johnson 15. same as a 9.9 just bigger carb. and they move a light boat

I posted a video of myself in a 12 foot or 14 foot aluminum boat with a 9.9 Johnson engine. Got on plane in less that 5 seconds.

A Person - 7 years ago

because longer boats have less bow rise and get on plane quick. my friends 14ft boat weith 20hp evinrude gets on plane in 2-3 seconds

DaBrute - 7 years ago

Of course you're going to get spray off the Suzuki. Looks like you guys are just slapping the engines on and not bothering to adjust them to spec

HCBR - 7 years ago

I have a small rubberboat 3 meter 90 cm long. with trespa floors and air middle section.
currently I use a yamaha 4hp, I would like to go faster, but I am not allowed to go beyond 11 knots. what do you think how much hp I willl need. I was looking for 6 HP.

Gökhan - 6 years ago

Wow a lot of time passed but i wanted to write.. i couldnt even go 7-8 knot with my 6 hp Mercury with 3.80 Yamaha boat. Now i have 9.9 Yamaha 4 Stroke. With 2 guy it goes 30-32km/h but its not enough for this boat so im looking for a 20 HP Yamaha

Depends where u live. In Germany, generally no for this boat.

job hoogeboom - 7 years ago

you need to trim the suzuki

Fiveo waf - 5 years ago

If you read the magazine article, the Suzuki was a long shaft they got by mistake, hence the spray etc. given how it performed even with that handicap, it was probably the best there performance wise. Without them being set up properly in terms of trim, prop size etc. to perform at their best on the boat used for the test the results are pretty much worthless.

Estevens Sousa - 5 years ago

They most certainly look like Dumb and Dumber..... Pleasseeee... nor would my 11-year-old son do that ! And he knows better how to govern boat !

Rockwood Joe - 7 years ago

Totally agree, testers were morons. The cavitation plate height must be adjusted to specs. Either raise or lower the motor on the transom (not trim angle).

van viravan - 8 years ago

What size of the boat you used for this test? Thanks.

No Torqueedo engine? xD

Diego De León - 8 years ago

I'll check the review... It's good to know there are great electric alternatives, in combination with the solar panel they sell those are the perfect outboards for a sailboat's tender...

Motor Boat & Yachting - 8 years ago

+Diego De León We invited them, but they couldn't make our testing dates... We have previously reviewed their 2.5hp unit though - http://www.mby.com/general/ultimate-2-5hp-outboard-test-40258/8
