COST!!!

That is the only factor stopping me, and you most likely as well.
A new 135 would be very expensive...
Maybe someday...

Cost is a dirty four letter word

I'll get the price just for giggles.

My dealer has a 90hp HO. It's a detuned V4 115. Getting the price on that too.

Even then, you would not get very far..

That was the police boat, twin 300's, asked them how fast she would go, they said 40mph...

Ya

600hp on the back of a Zoddie...

More like 80mph

Thanks Ray. I can always count on you for honesty.

Re: Victor & Crikey,

I'd buy the beer, but I wouldn't want to pay the fuel bill on those monsters

Seriously, I like several features of the Etec line. While a 90 is, for the most part satisfactory. I'd like over 20mph even with ballast in. Do I need it? No. Even my possibly flawed 90 has always brought me home. But perspective E-tec buyers should be forwarned

I believe to push our waterbagos efficiently potential 60hp buyers should get 90's. & 90's wannabes should get the V4 90 HO or Pontoon V4. It's 1726 CCs 390#'s with various gear ratios. The V6s are out of my re re repower budget. But power boats in our size would bolt on a V6.

-Just Sayin'

Dude

Trade in the pair and get the 150 pontoon V6

You know you want to....

Other thing is, with the extra CC and HP, she throws a bigger prop.

15 1/4 X 15 X 3

Would push more water, with less work by the engine.

With all the cc, would just launch your X

You could sit at 22mph - 24mph @ 3700rpm Econ cruise set

[beene]

Sure looks pretty....

[Gazmn]

Oooohhhhh, you are Baaaaaaaad Bro

I'm just glad we're talking about pushing water - not drugs

Ohh Temptation


I hear Robin Thicke in the background singing: "You know you want it... (Hey hey hey)..."

I'm waiting to hear the offers hopefully Mon or Tues. Believe me, yes I want it. But I'll only go so far out on the limb. Lets hope it's within range. I have an older hull. & need another car. Soon er...
