BifMalibu.........has a 30horse Merc EFI on it. The kicker is a Merc 4horse one cylinder. Wish I'd never bought the kicker. It vibrates like hell cuz it's a one-lunger. I'm going to look around for a 2cyl Yammy that doesn't weigh too much. Nowadays the small-horse 2-bangers are hard to find. I troll with the 30 as a result. Tops out about 30 miles an hour wide open. (haven't GPS'd myself yet). I was told by the dealer you don't get the "make-oil" much at all with the EFI on the 30 horse.. It is more prone to happen in carbureted engines. Doesn't burn much gas. I can be out there all day, going all over the place and trolling and when I get in my 6 gallon tank is still 1/3 full. If I use the 4 horse for a kicker....I could probably make it to Vancouver and back on one tank.....LOL. My only beef with Lund is they went a little light on the armor...........60 thou on the sides and 80 thou on the bottom. Would have liked 80 thou on the sides and 120 thou on the bottom.
