Thoughts on the 224 Blackjack with 175 Mercury?

[rambored]

I started with a yam 225 HPDI and then went to a 200 four stroke. Great dry ride, and great fishing boat. fished Marsh around Bay Rambo and outside islands from Coccodrie. 2008 till 2019. Best boat on the market! Some one stole the boat/motor and burned the boat last month. I guess some crabber is enjoying that quiet four stroke!

dang... sorry to hear about your boat, hopefully your able to get back into another one.


thanks for the information, it is good to hear from someone that has a smaller motor than the 250.

After a little misunderstanding with the salesman... that ended up in my favor must I say. I thought I was going with the 225 Mer, but when I received my quote, I noticed that was not the case . In two weeks I will take possession on my new 2019 blackjack w/ 250 merc pro xs, 64" minnkota I-pilot, and garmin electronics.


if anyone is interested, I am selling my current boat (2013 Tidewater 196 adventurer w/yam 115 4stroke and all the electronics).
