    @SnapDaddy5998 The difference is in the length between the lower unit and the powerhead. I’m not positive but I believe short shafts are for 15″ transoms and longshafts are for 20″ transoms. Depends on what boat you buy but unless it’s a deep V boat, you’ll probably need a short shaft.

    that is not a “badly tuned two stroke” as you put it, boatbros. If you knew anything about 2 strokes it should be that they all idle like that… and thats what makes them so great! they arent glass smooth like 4 strokes when they idle

    Whats the difference between a short shaft and long shaft motor? Does the short shaft have the handle throttle only? And does the short shaft get put on 10-12 foot vhull aluminum boats? I’m looking into buying one and thought getting used ones peice by peice would be cheaper.

    @boatbros23 Yeah it is. A rather badly-tuned two stroke, I’ll add! Need to have a tune up this season.

    @TheBassBros Thanks! Looking forward to the new season.

    @haydenmtb3 Maybe you have too much weight in the stern? 6hp shouldn’t do that… try balance your weight better and trim (tilt) the motor down some. My 9.9 doesn’t “flip” me, so not sure how your 6hp could.

    @marlowe5555 I’m not sure if it’s a 1232 or 1236… bought it used and the I.D. plate is worn off a little. The boat is surprisingly stable with two “larger” guys on it. I am 6’3″ and can stand [carefully] with no problems. If I had my way though, I would like to buy a 14 footer and a slightly wider beam. But the 9.9 is definitely well-suited to the 12 foot… I am getting fired up about fishing/boating season again! Good luck.

    Great video. I am looking at an identical set up right now and your video is very telling! Thanks. Tell me… is yours a 1232 or a 1236? Can you comment on how stable you find the boat with 2 people? Thanks!
