Man is that thing quite
. Spent 2 hours today breaking her in and contrary to what FW/BC think, I'm 20% there on getting it done. In fact after the 15 minute ideal, 45 minute 2000-3000 stint and the coooooooooold hour long 4000-5000 rpm run, I'm basically good to go for the next 8 hours. I just need to not run at full ideal more than 5 minutes at a wack, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Aside from the obvious silence, I love the power curve (for lack of a better term) of this motor, as compared to that Suzuki. With that old 2 stroke you either idealed slow or were up on plane, nothing in between worked. This motor is slick and I'll be able to run at all rpm's. I hate trolling but this puppy will troll silently at under 3 mph, which is unreal. Only drawback is the motor height is definately wrong and I've got to get that changed, because I can't trim it up much at all before it blows out.
Planning on a freshwater trip Saturday and maybe another hour on it.
