My boys got me a Cruise and Carry for father's day..Looks like it never saw the water and fires up first pull. The motor weighs 12 lbs.

I've ran gas before...but never had both at the same time. Should extend my range.

Haha..That baby sports one and a half horses..will run 7000 rpms..At full WOT...goes through a liter of fuel an hour.

Very cool Dave, thought about that until I found out that since they are gas they must be inspected. Have fun with it bud!!!

Yeah... When I use it I'll stop by the inspection station..Although being air cooled with no water pump it's the same as an electric as far as picking up water. Wanted it mostly for Spinney and the mile...Plus, there's still a few good lakes without inspectors.

You need to install another one on the other side to balance things out, and double up on the HP!!

Congrats on the new motor.

Thanks..Never thought about it. I've had it around fifteen years or so..minimum of thirty trips out a year..minimum of eight to ten hours a trip.. I'm guessing between 4000 to 4500 hours spent in that seat fishing..

Lots of good memories I'm sure.

Thanks again. It was the best purchase I've ever made. A lot of good times and memories. I'm taking it out tomorrow for a shakedown trip to see what happens.
