Got one on the back of my 4.5m rib just wondered how good they were as guy down yard said they bombproof.
Mines in great condition just needs service for 2014 season

My yam 40 2s is 24 years old and is great. Pushed my sr4 down The Solent at 34 kts yesterday (1 up, 45 litres fuel onboard, could not believe how fast it is) and used less than 1 litre per nm.

Fair Play! Can'nt knock that Chris! I know they are pretty Bullet Proof old Lumps! I had a 60hp for several seasons... and it was Thrashed LONNNGGG befor I got it,never missed a beat or let me down! Which is all we ever realy want from an OB.. whichever flavour we choose!
The test of an engine is Performance...the test of a Marque is Time!...(A bit like RIB'S too!)
