I blink for a minute and WOW!!...Spongey sportin' a freakin' 225 OPTI!!...I would think she's a lil stronger than the 225 Yam and I KNOW she'll burn less fuel!!...those Optis are STRONG motors, but good on fuel!...Nicks 28' cat w/twin 200s used to run 60 miles out, troll all day and back in on 90 gals...NOBODY was doin' that at the time.

Yer gonna love that!!...
