| I'm going to buy a 4 stroke kicker soon, (like this week).
i found a 15 HP Merc that already has the BigFoot option on it...basically the gears and bunch other parts from lower end of 25 HP...
noneless, do you recommend the Bigfoot option? any problems w/ it?
thanks a ton.

| Thanks steve. It seems like this like a $500 upgrade, hey?
Do, does the big foot actually help you go faster or just to be able to move heavy loads easier? more advise please, anyone???? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Actually, the Bigfoot is a model, not an upgrade. It has a much more durable lower unit, and was designed as the ultimate Pontoon motor. It will treat you well. |

| It's also the model that comes with electric start. It is also geared lower. With the larger case, this allows a larger diameter prop for more power to move those big pontoonies. The do work well on larger boats for a kicker. |
