[QUOTE="T Man, post: 290066, member: 3351"] The Big Foot motors were designed with lower gearing to push pontoon boats. A 9.9 Bigfoot will always be slower than a 9.9 even with the same pitch prop on it. You said you weren't concerned with speed, and that is a personal preference, however, I like to have the ability to run fast if I have to. We were out on Grand Lake in Oklahoma setting limb lines when we saw a storm brew up in the distance. Had I not been able to run fast to get back to the dock we would have been in trouble. Its always nice to have it and not need it, rather than not have it and be in trouble. [/QUOTE]
