Happy New Year to you ! Can we plan a Friday night at your Club in January, or February ? I think we need an s2s get together. MCC is closed until march 1st, we can do one there anytime after that date. Miss the boat, it's been too busy and too cold for me to even get on her to complete a few minor projects .... but maybe it will warm up in january. I remember last year by the middle of March I even had all my cockpit teak Cetoled.

You're more than welcome for the "reply", but actually it was more a friendly "dig" at Lee than a serious reply to you - but, on the serious side, I'd feel quite comfortable saying you wouldn't regret ANY Honda you bought (unless it was a 60 hp on the back of a Laser ); but then, too, there's very few "BAD" motors/engines out there... the marketplace is just too tough and no manufacturer wants to compete against quality with garbage.
