Re: I/Os VS OutBoards
 

how long does it take you to get on plane with that little of outboard.

Re: I/Os VS OutBoards
 

depends on how hard I push it. Normally I'm not in any hurry so I ease it up. But when needed I can plane in about 10 to 20 seconds. Never timed it. Maybe next time out.

Re: I/Os VS OutBoards
 

ok i always run hard because thats how i drive. that must be why i go through so many engines in three years. in boats and cars.

Re: I/Os VS OutBoards
 

I cant afford engines nso I have to take care of what I got.

Just started eating a midnight snack. Please forgive the greasey fingers. ;D
