After all these years, I finally got the Honda 4 stroke. She puts out 140 HP at 6300 RPM's, has 16-Valve SOHC i-VTEC® and multi-point fuel injection.
Unfortunately, it won't hang on the transom of the 23CC, but in the driveway. Ironically, this 40 MPG sweetheart costs the same almost to the penny that the Honda 225 4 stroke outboard that I covet so much.
Priorities suck!
