Thanks for the additional replies. Yes, no ranting, but I have no problem telling it like it is. If Honda has a problem w/ me broadcasting my info, then so be it. We'll both be out of luck. Honda has...

Honda just lost a big fan
I've been a fan of Honda motors in ANYTHING for years, but they just lost me forever. Yes, every brand will break, and we have to understand that. But, when they do break prematurely, the company...

My 21' alum, from Ribcraftusa, ran about $50K w/ t-top and a 150 Honda, 2 pod seats and heavy-duty (1200 dtx?) tubes, 3/16" hull. Nothing real fancy. Polaris was a tad more, but a narrower boat, and...
