Appreciate all the replies. 1) the Honda BF90D VTEC is fuel injected. 2) after more tinkering, I am pretty sure the Port Tach is reading high. 3) will give several of the suggestions a try! Look forward to many more hours of cruising around at 18-25 Kts ! Thanks, Doug

UPDATE; After cruising on nice glassy water for a few hours, it seems the starboard tachometer is reading high. If we keep throttles even (ignoring RPM) she's steers straight, and the engines sound similar*. At 5000 RPM on the port Tach (reads 6100 on starboard tach), we are going 24-25 Kts...

100% same diameter. I'm 90% sure they are same pitch.

Ahoy hoy, We are on our 2nd trip with VEGA, and we are figuring out most her systems and quirks. The most concerning quirk is the engines (460 hours ) require drastically different throttle to match RPM. The starboard engine requires a lot more throttle and struggles to keep up with the port...

Update: The Sea Trial was interesting. The boat as twin 90hp Hondas (~470 hours). The engines cold started just fine and idled around the marina just fine. As we were exiting the marina the starboard engine suddenly shutoff. Possibly related, it looks like the batteries need to be replaced...

Kartsten- 100%, amazing community and forums. Excited to join it :) Floyd & Eiko - That's amazing! Vega definitely looks well loved. Thx for sharing. Happy Valentines Day! The survey is going great so far (knock on wood, we have the sea trial in 30 mins). Have a few small things that need...

Ahoy hoy, We are also in the middle of purchasing a 2008 C25, and are currently looking for a Surveyor in the Anacortes, WA area. The broker estimated the price would be ~$1,000 for a survey.

Ahoy hoy! My wife and I just had an offer accepted on the C-Dory 25 named VEGA, i see the original listing from 2022 on here (http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... 21f2aa3f78). Whoever purchased then has decided to move up to a bigger boat, and listed VEGA here...
