Is the HOnda 2004 90hp fuel injected?

Some of you may remember me..tom mchugh...chesapeake...22 cruiser owner. I left the c dory fold a few years ago and "moved up" to a larger boat..no need to name the brand...and I learned, the hard way, the world of corporate boating...the expenses, the repairs, the marina costs, etc...so I sold...

Thought i put this up before.. I will be in Virginia, attending my daughter's graduation. The field will be available...unless there is a prior period of heavy rain, and then the field is a mud trap...stay off. I will mark off the areas for parking ahead of time. I believe i can accommodate...

While Mr Bob is right about the worst weather coming from the north and north east on the Chesapeake, the dominant weather starting in April will be southwest...it is a generally good trip up the Bay,lots of places to get in...canal is fine...Delaware Bay is a mess almost all the time...even in...

Hey, Great start...already a bunch of registrations and it is still winter... I was over at Lankford Bay yesterday and even in the dead of a damp cold winter day it is beatiful there. Think summer. terraplane

I had a telephone call from someone in Virginia asking about the June gahtering... Will there be an "event signup" posted here? I told the guy to look for that. terraplane

El, Bil, and Byrdman: Thanks for the kind words. My 17 year old daughter will be graduating from The Madeira School on June5,6,7...big deal as you can imagine. I expect to be "temporarily" a non boater this summer...first time in 39 years without a boat, if BANJO sells. Byrdman: The long...

In reference to Doryman's comment "Yanmar debacle" i'm interested what he is referencing. As an owner of a 110 Yanmar, 2008, with flawless performance and super economical running, i would not apply "debacle" to the Yanmar name...Curious about the explanation. terraplane

Hi gang. Tom The Banjo Man or Terraplane chiming in. Just to bring folks up to date. Doug was doing just fine and I assume he still is. I have written to Anne and have not heard back in a while. I am stepping back for now from boating. Some of it health related, nothing greatly serious, and...

Byrdman, I randomly check in on C Brats...and found your query about our music. The last CD, CHESAPEAKE SCENES: THE WORDS AND MUSIC OF THE BAY, is closing in on sell out...For anyone interested it is $15,plus shipping of $2...Great music and words on the largest estuary in US. We are ready...

This is a sad post. My Ranger 25 is for sale. As a retired college professor, age 71, with some health issues, and family obligations, whose retirement portfolio has been pummeled with more to come...i am making the sad decision to sell my boat. BANJO is just one year old, 170 hours on the...

Byrdman, Bad news..we will miss you. I was looking forward to us getting up at 5am and doing a cardio walk for five miles in hilly roads..!!! We'll think of you...not too bad to be in Charleston...under any circumstances. tom

Charlie Toy's has changed hands. I'll get the name and number and post it here today or tomorrow. tom

I ordered the T shirts today. They will be very nice...same maker as last year, guarantees a good fit. Charlie will soon be putting up the order routine. The shirts are a light color (cooler) and they will have both the C Dory and Ranger logo displayed. Sign up now...for one of the great...

I hpe you two are putting in an appearance. We are up to 17 boats..so sign up... I'm considering a new song: The Ballad of the Byrd. terraplane tom
