I haven't even yet run it a full hour, so not much yet that I can tell you. After launching I ran it up the creek a ways. It got up on plane quick enough and ran smooth. I'm accustomed to 2-stroke sounds and power, so it's very quiet. Going out of town this weekend -- bad timing -- so I probably won't get it even broken in for another 2 weeks. I was told by "those in the know" that it would be as strong or stronger than my old 200 HPDI, but I have my doubts about that.

Do you still have your V-21? She's a beauty.
