Default Re: Reelapeelin, talk to me...

Airslot...sorry it took so long to respond...one word settled me on a Honda: RELIABILITY...and it's been flawless since installation...extremely quiet at idle and can carry on conversation much easier while planed out...reduction in VIBRATION from old Rude was FIRST thing I noticed...V20 suddenly felt like NEW BOAT... :o...no numbers for you on gas consumption, but per trip's use is close to half what it used to be...'86 150 Rude was a REAL gas guzzler!!... ::)...

One downside: holeshot...not a skier's friend...w/no tow it comes up fine, but tie off a decent size guy gettin' up w/one ski and he's gonna fight it to get up...if your's doesn't do tow-duty, you won't notice it... ;) ;D...

If I's gonna buy a new motor today for my V20, it'd be a 200, small-block E-Tec...wish they had been out when I had to repower...go test drive one...
