I am going to be purchasing a 60 hp mercury bigfoot 4 stroke motor. Has anybody had any experiance's with this motor, good or bad is ok! IT will be going on the back of a 24 foot pontoon. Thanks!

Honestly, I think it would be a perfect choice. It's a high thrust engine. I have no personal experience, but if it's Merc, it's good. Anybody disagree with my simplistic answer?

The bigfoot would be an ideal choice for your toon. It will swing a larger diameter prop that will help with thrust on that type hull. Reliable too...

The Bigfoot was intended to see that kind of use. Perfect choice. It has been reliable and is a well respected model.

[colour=blue]I run a 50 bigfoot EFI on my toon boat.

It is very reliable, quiet, economical and the best thing - true turn key starting.
