[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 511239, member: 32426"] Same here in Washington state. I asked if I could launch my gas boat on an electric only lake if I only used the electric motor. The answer was no. As far as removing a bolted on OB to run different a OB, I’d have no problem with this as long as both motors have the same bolt pattern. Unfortunately, a 9.9 and a 25 probably do not have the same bolt pattern. At least mine don’t. In this case a jack plate might be a better option than turning the transon into Swiss cheese. I actually have three OBs for the small jet Jon that I’m building. A Suzuki 9.9/20hp, a Zuki 25hp and Merc 25hp jet that’s a 200 pound beast. So far my favorite OB is the 9.9 that has been upgraded to 20hp. It’s light and it will push the bare hull around at 27mph. To look at it the decals and s/n indicate that it’s a 9.9. If I ever fished a restricted water I would simply limit use of the throttle so it acts like a 9.9. It’s also about a 15 minute job to reinstall the original ECM and restrictor plate so it’s actually a 9.9 again. Running a 25 and 9.9 kicker on a small boat could get tricky. Like LDUBS said, think about the total weight on the transom. [/QUOTE]
