I think if you do a search here you will find alot of complaints/problems with the Bigfoot. You will really have to search hard to find a complaint about the Yami's.
+1 I had a '02 F8 that I loved. Started right up, trolled all day without issue. Never gave me a lick of trouble. 9.9 is same as motor, they don't make the 8 anymore, but I'd go yami everytime.
There the same motor. Both made by Yamaha. The big foot is the gear case. It is manufactured to push a larger boat. It would troll smaller boats to fast.
Good info guys thanks. It is going on a 22' aluminum boat with a fixed frame top. I would like to be able to troll down to 1 mph and under. Is this possible with these motors?
I have a T9.9 on my new sled. the electric start and tilt is a sweet deal. The motor starts almost instantly, is quiet and smooth, and trolls down plenty slow enough. It's basically the same size as the discontinued T8 with a bit more top end.
I have seen lots of boats with Mercury main motor and a Yamaha kicker. I have not seen a boat with a Yamaha main motor and a Mercury Bigfoot for kicker. I think that says it all :twocents:
I have a 22' fixed frame Intruder, and I can troll down to about .6 with the T9.9, You cant go wrong with this motor. Its sweet!!!
