Alright hear it goes. I have a 15ft 2004 Alumacraft Crappie Deluxe. Been fishing with a 96 Yamaha 15hp 2stroke and it works great and gets on plane great. Just got a really good deal on a 2010 Yamaha T9.9 4-stroke High Thrust with electric start (big lower unit and prop, like mercury big foot). Haven't had time to try it out and wondered if this is an ideal motor for a Jon Boat. I know the high thrust model is made to be a kicker on bigger boats and sailboats.

Anyone have any experience with the High Thrust 9.9. Will I need to re-prop it to get on plane. Would be nice not to mix oil and have 2 years on warranty. One or the other will be for sale shortly since I can't keep both.
