    Honda BF 150A wont start

    That's all great, but if your fuel pump is bad you still aren't getting fuel. Get some starter fluid.

    San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara area?

    What do I need to know about Tomcats?

    I love my Tomcat. Now, the body of water you mentioned i'm not familiar with. The weakness of the Tomcat, as Bob rightly mentioned, is the small tunnel clearance. This makes them not the best for running into chop. When you run out of tunnel clearance it is an abrupt stop. Forget being...
