Thanks Ferm but like her big sis, at the moment she is really wanting a Honda civic. My wife and I both have driven the wheels off of Honda civics in the past. Good little cars but hard to find a late model with ~ 100k or less at a decent price.

The g6 only has 84k on it. I'm not a HONDA fan, just one of the many reasons I don't like the CR-V.

I've always liked hondas, but the newer ones in the last ten years I havent been as impressed with. My mom has a newer crv and I dont really like it at all, tons of blind spots for such a little car. My wifes parents drive a 2000 odessey with 275,000 on it and its a great car. I prefer 20 plus year old toyotas and chevy trucks myself.

While you're spending money BR get one of those inline four cylinder 200 yamis. ;)

My buddy told me the same thing last night Bradford about the 200 yami. Only problem I see is $3500 more....ouch.

But what about the new in-line 4 175hp?!?! The weight is only about 10 lbs heavier than my current 150 2 stroke. Performance bulletin on these motors are insane.

In my case I'd essentially cutting my fuel burn directly in half!

Compare to an old bulletin on my engine with comparable hull & weight:

Shipped the leaky tilt-trim unit back to the eBay guy and bought another unit on eBay - this one for $509 free ship and 14 day return policy. Supposed to arrive on or before 10/9.

This is getting old quick.

Gonna try an sell my unit and recoup some money. Lot of good parts there and potential to be fixed and put back in service by someone.

Got the 2nd trim assembly today, installed, working good. No leaks that I can tell and this one is in really good shape appearance-wise. Fingers crossed.....looks like I may be back in business.
