thanks for everything! the window installation went well and looks and works great. Chris

Mike, have you thought about using winter water pipe protection sponge to slip on each window frame. Might be easy to put on and take off and still protect the metal. also, I think the condensation will drain outside since it seems to tilt backward with placed in the window. I will try to...

Mike, what did you do to the front window brace/holder that normally keeps the window open when tightened. On mine, it is attached high on the port side of the window frame and looks like it would be in the way. If I remove it, I won't be able to keep the window open when I want to. Chris

Is honda improving their 90 for 2007? Chris

I Just e mailed Jeff at the factory about this topic...(I finally sold my Sea Ray and will buy now or wait for the 2007 depending on what he says AND your recommendations!)..will share what he tells me. Chris

For interested owners, see weight and speed limitations... "...when it came to the option of a 115 HP motor then it is weight driven on what will work and what will not. We will not approve the use of a motor larger than 115 HP for the 22. The 22 hull was not designed to go much over 30...
