[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 432065, member: 1417"] I have a '09 Merc 25hp w/T&T. Frankly it is a total pooch out of the hole. I can read a novel before it gets on plane. Once it does it gets upper 20's with two people in a Tracker 1448 Grizzly. That said, it has been reliable throughout. I have never had any issues with it. I have never attempted to improve the problem getting it on plane. I'm not racing anybody to a fishing spot and even at my age still produce enough testosterone that I don't have to compensate with loud or fast. Merc's get quite a bit of bad press here, particularly by the OMC lovers. I don't know enough to take that question on and it may not matter anyway. Whatever works for you is the right thing but there are at least a few here who repair marine motors for a living and surely know which they see consistently in the shop. Hopefully they will chime in. [/QUOTE]
