New to me toy.

Yep, that's your old engine bradford(need to make soem time and finish her up to help offset the cost of the new boat). The tank is going in the console. it was the tank that came with it, but he put a 12 gallon in it, so I'm going to put the 20 back in it. And I know they're quiet and effcient, but almost $500 for some basic parts to perform maintence, and over a week to get them because nobody stocks parts sucks. At least if it was a YAMAHA parts are pretty easy to get, but HONDA parts are all scarce to find. Looks like it will be next weekend before I get to actually use her. Going to add some rod holders to the console, and find a new grab rail for it. Was REALLY hoping to use it next week as it's spring break and my wife is off since she's a teacher, but I DO still have my jon boat for the time being.

Already ordered them through boats.net. Was hoping to have it going this weekend, but most everything is special order for this thing. I just have to remind myself of how much fuel I will be saving from now on. And having the fiberglass boat will be nice as it won't be no where near as hot as the aluminum gets in the sunlight.

the place my wife works at is set up as a Honda dealer if you need anything. I'm not saying they have it in stock() but they can order it

You're gonna love the fuel mileage. My old 2 stroke Tohatsu 90 burned as much fuel as my ETEC with nearly half the horsepower, much lighter and more efficient hull, etc. Not to mention how loud the old ones sound after you get used to the newer ones.

Was looking at a 18 or 20 for mine, under the console. I want the fill directly on the tank and the fuel line on the same side to facilitate easy K.I.S.S. rigging. Also would prefer a translucent tank to be able to just look at it and know my fuel level. Do you have a model # for yours?
