Dang, Jay you're right. I would've bet money he was Steamboat Willie.

Yes.I went to Fairbanks,Alaska Nov.20 1963.Honorable discharge Sept.16 1965. I was in Infantry. I tryed to go to Vietnam.At that time `no draftees`.My Father-in-Law fought at the aleutian islands. He said there were 1000 japs left,their commander ordered to shoot themselves,rather than surrender.My two younger brothers spent a tour in nam. One still alive, one died.I had three or four Uncles was in ww2.I was born 7-14-41. Yes, I remember the war#2.Germany and the japs both tryed to take over the World . They failed,that time. Japan won`t fail this time.They won`t have to fire a shot. james

The Aleutians? I remember that one as the Japanese left before the U.S invasion force arrived. The only U.S. casualites were from friendly fire. Of course I could be wrong.

Re: Honda vs. Evinrude

I went through this exact delema last spring. Honda vs E-tec. Both are great motors. I ended up with the E-tec for a couple of reasons.

It is a lighter motor, big deal when you are maxing out a boat. I run and gun my boat, thus I thought the E-tec would be better for this. It was cheaper. I go to small lakes, where I am unable to have my motor in a full upright position to start. I have heard of people doing damage to their four strokes by doing this. I run my boat until ice up. I have experienced others around me having trouble starting their four stokes in the cold. I also like the minimal maintenance and winterizing, I'm lazy.

I have had my motor for a year now. I do not know what my hours are right now. I know I did over 80 in two months. I have done nothing but put gas and oil in it.

The E-tec is a very quiet clean motor. I am no longer choked out by the fumes like my old rude did. It uses very little gas. I have been complimented by four stokers on how quiet it is at idle, as we were having a boatside chat and I left it running. Yes at speed it is a bit louder, but so are the four strokes. I know for a fact that my 75 E-tec is quieter than my FIL's 15 Honda 4 stroke.

Again, both are great motors.

I talked to two or three people past summer that traded new Johnsons motors in on new Hondas,they said they liked Hondas better.I own five or six Honda lawn mowers. But the new Briggs&Strattons have really improved lately.
