My buddy recently re-powered his boat with one of those 4-stroke 50hp honda outboards...........He wants his 50hp mercury 2 stroke back!.......the honda is SLOW in comparison, and HEAVY!.......9mph slower on the top end.

Na....This is just my "play" boat. If I want to get serious I've got a 1960 Sanger drag boat with a built 428! For some unkown reason not many people want to take more than 1 ride with me....

Nope, not mine, but I'd drive it!

Both my boats are prop driven. That boat is a jet drive.

Have you ever been down here for the Boatnik? They run the jetboats pretty fast on the Rogue.
