There is a possibility that I MIGHT be able to get into a new '09 Lund A-14
utility-v bottom boat with a Honda outboard. This boat is rated for a 15 HP
motor. Should everything work out,the dealer I might be getting it from has offered two options motorwise. I can go with the BF9.9 or the BF15,...both
with electric start or manual rope start with a difference of $300.00 on the price of the entire package,manual rope start being the less costly option
on either motor. If I would choose electric start on either motor,...how big a battery would I need to get a 15 or 9.9 to turn over(crank)? Both motors being four stroke,which do you think would perform best on this little skiff?
I would like electric start cause I am at the age where I am tired of yanking on starting ropes to crank an outboard over(done it on the 15 Merc on the previous boat).
