Capt Pete, That chrome zamak fitting on the end of that windshield support on Sir Sponge Bob has seen better days. I looked around and couldn't find any spares laying around. A shame they don't make those fittings in stainless..
I am still loving my Optimax too, those are some impressive figures and close to the 250 XS. I bet there isn't spit difference between the two motors, a little timing prolly, that is why they say to run high test fuel in the XS or so I was told...
The 200 HO E-tec is an impressive motor. Underrated, and I love that it is so quiet. I guess the 150 is just as quiet. These two strokes have the punch that the four strokes are striving for. Nearly there IMPO, they have come a long way fast in 4-strokes. I wonder what is in store for the 2-strokes moving forward? Do they have a future with CARB standards getting tighter and tighter. Assume for a moment that they are clean enough, the perception is going to be hard to overcome...Glad the E-tec contingent are pleased with their products. Nothing like a little real world feedback from owners without the agenda...Good stuff
