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.

That should get you on plane, if not airborne.

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.

Other thing is, with the extra CC and HP, she throws a bigger prop.
15 1/4 X 15 X 3
http://boatpropellers.iboats.com/Evinru ... =539346557
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

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...
