Maybe I read it wrong, but seemed that way to me. Just so used to defending myself anymore it's natural... No biggie I am over it.

As for these engines, I bet they are sweet and yes not bad pricing for what you get... I often wondered at times if certain "crate" engines are with the extra cash, all depends I guess.

Good talk.

We are ALL passionate powerboaters, who razz each other and give each other chit, just like when we are rafted up having a good time. Why do you act so serious on OSO. Have some fun, take a JOKE, and stop being such a Grinch. (70% of jokes are true though ;-)

You already know that I don't sugar coat what I say, and I already have told you EXACTLY how I feel about things over the phone and through text, no reason to think it will be any different in person. So go ahead and ACT tough on here. I have no problem giving anyone a "hard time" and telling them how I feel. Its all about the "tone" used, and sorry that your brain inserts the WRONG tones while you read OSO.

Its all good Tim, we may not be friends, but that doesn't mean we cant have a good time while enjoying the same hobby. If you want to live your life as a pessimist threatening to fight all the time then I'm sorry for you.

Well there's plenty of those in this sport! Sick of seeing the plastic stuff, want to see more of these!

Anyone have a guess how reliable they are?

Member "billy cully" has a pair of his motors in his 42 Cigarette Tiger "Hammertime".
He isn't on here much, I know that Billy's happy with them. Sonny stands behind his work.

Freakstyle, I know you've suffered some engine problems with your big blower motors. I don't think I'd be quick to jump ship, and go big power N/A just yet. I don't think your issues are stemmed from the fact the engine has a supercharger sitting on top of it. I think once you get with the right builder, or get them sorted out, you'll like the way they run.

Aside from that, the big power N/A engines are bad azz.
