OK so we've run them a bit now.

had to replace a thermostat housing (cracked at bolt and dribbled very slightly)

Stbd engine tops out at 4600. Port over 5000. Prop on stbd had work done, maybe problem???

Rpms/throttles match up until 4000, then stbd has to be pushed farther than port.

Both at 4200 she hums along at 33 mph/33gph and sounds great. Had it up to 38mph.

best fuel burn at 25 mph/22gph.....ouch!!!! (has yammie fuel flow meter)

tilt position sensor on stbd not working...haven't investigated yet.

Stbd fuel pumps look brand new.

HATE the blue smoke. Haven't had a 2 stroke since 2003. You really get used to breathing....

LOVE that the boat was easily worth $22k without any motors so I can't complain about running motors.

Hope to run these next year and scrape and save and beg and borrow to get new 200 yammie or zuki I4 four strokes in the future. That'll last me right to retirement....
