Hey everyone, here’s a quick video of the new Yamaha 25 set up on a 1650 Lowe roughneck. Also, gave an idea of the stability of this boat. Thanks for watching!
Good video I have a Yamaha f25 on a lowe roughneck 1860 and it does very well I get 23 mph by myself and 21 with 2 people if I run into a strong head wind it slow me down a little but I can fish and run all day on 3 gal of fuel I have 114 hrs on it so far I have really enjoyed it so far ,I will probably put another 75 to 100 hrs on it in the next 3months.
I have a 1654 lowe riveted 1992 and it's by far my favorite, I'm old and have had many, I also have a 1448 sea ark riveted, it's me and my wife's personal fishing boat,
I have the 1860, with a 90 Yamaha 4 stroke and I love it. When it starts proposing I'll add half a tank of water to the front live well and it pretty much levels out nicely and I didn't have to buy anything for it, give it a try before you spend any money
I have to get more familiar with where the propeller suppose to meet the transom. My boat does have a jackplate also but I was wanting the best performance I can get while also able to go shallow
Thoughts on this motor a year later? I'm starting to research Merc, Yamaha and Suzuki 25 hp four stroke. I'm leaning towards this model. In reviews the one con I hear the most is the vibration in the handle.
hey good morning just Saw your video on the low roughnecks 1650 how stable is that in rough water have you had it out and rougher water just curious I’m looking at a low roughneck 1660 right now
hello, please tell me which oil in your opinion is better: Tohatsu Outboard 4-Stroke 10W-40 Oil vs MOTUL Outboard Tech 4T 10W-40? What is the oil in your engine?
I am in the process of buting a used 1760 xpress all welded jon and am wondering if a 2009 50 hp yamaha would be enough power for it another guy , dog and duck hunting gear.Thanks
Great vidya. Where should the prop be with respect to the bottom of the boat in order to pick up cooling water and push the boat? ot a side view with recommended angle? Is a 16/52 is the best size for fishing 2 people comfortably? Small lakes.
@@centralbears3010 I have a 1652 G3 Jon boat they are crazy stable. As far as Jon's go 16' is great for two people. I bought it especially for being able to take my dad or someone else out to the lakes with me.
Any thoughts on comparing the Yamaha 25 to the Tohatsu 20? Have you tried the Tohatsu 20 on this 1650 Lowe for a direct comparison? Would love to see that and your thoughts on the direct comparison. Thanks. Cheers,
I haven't tried that motor on this boat. However, having owned both motors I can say without much doubt that the 20hp tohatsu would perform very closely with this 25 yamaha. The Yamaha weighs 130lbs while the tohatsu weighs around 108lbs. That little bit of weight difference on these boats really does make a difference. Those tohatsu motors paired with the right prop are incredibly powerful for their size.
@@jswoozy517 Thank you. That's really helpful, because you've used both motors. I had assumed the weight difference might make these two motors very close in performance. Cheers,
I got a question, does your trailer have a swing away tung on it? I've got only 18' in my garage and can't get any information on the length of boat on trailer with motor.
I got a 99 lowe 17 70hp Johnson might sell and get something like this. Wonder if a 30 would be enough for 2 people. I'm either going tohatsu or Yamaha
I got a 2019 grizzly 1648 all welded v nose modified v hull jon boat with a 40 merc 4 stroke with the big tiller got it last spring. What r ur honest opinion on this set up, please be honest
Hook a rope to front of trailer drivers side, if your boat 16 foot get a 20 foot rope backed it in , when floats of ease foward and stop when boat starts to coming to bank, wear a life jacket, do this and you'll get good at it
How many boats have you seen throw someone overboard? Yea, the Jujitsu myth. Can it happen? Add alcohol and stir and idiots happen. Why don't we add seatbelts too. Then it would be even safer. You couldn't get thrown overboard, unless the entire seat assembly was thrown.
