Mercury Formula race 60 Engine help / 13' Bullet Boat setup Recomdations
I'm in the process of rebuilding/recoring a Bullet 130 13' mini boat. These boats from what i have read respond best to 15" mids with as little setback as possible. Im trying to figure out what to repower it with. I like the fact that the MERC formula race comes with a 15" mid from the factory but the no warranty is scaring me. Is there a 15" mid that would bolt up to the regular merc 60? Is there a good selection of props for this engine? What about an etec 60? is there a 15" mid for that? props? I know most people will say just find a good 70hp OMC or something but i don't really want the 2 stoke hassle.

Bud of mine has a 2016 merc 15'' 60hp race motor. Ran it for 2 yrs and has had no problems. He uses it on a 13' whaler rigged as a fish boat and it sees a lot of use.

He runs a Fury thru hub on his. Go to the merc prop website and check the avail prop styles and pitches.

Quite a few guys are running the 60 Formula race, they seem bullet proof. Tuff uses them on their 16 footer, see almost 60 MPH. Mercury Racing makes a cleaver for it, might work on yours, but it was mostly designed for the tunnel racing series:

Should be able to find other props no problem though. Engine has solid mounts too which is great.

I don't think there readily available either I looked into them a while back and would had to wait like 6 to 8 months I think they only make them like 1 or 2 times a yr but that was also like 2 to 3 yrs ago

If your not racing then get an engine with a warranty. What is the expected boat weight ?
