That 200 looper is right near me and CB!!

I like the video of the twins, nice touch for the sale!!

I think I am going back to OMC when I go?

I loved the Yamaha but they are picky as the way they want to run.
They hate to run 50:1 !! It because they don't have the right jets as the oil never mixes with the gas. It is direct oil injection.
If you can find a commercial Yamaha that was made in Mexico they come with no oil injection!

I will be looking for 150 to 200 when I start looking. I am kind of trying to stay at 175??

But money will dictate what ever I get!!
