I am recanting, and this time for good. I have been reading dozens and dozens of posts on the single vs. twins question. I have also downloaded engine/boat/speed/fuel usage charts until I am cross-eyed. I kept thinking that there had to be a reason why so many of our northern neighbors are...

quote="ArimaSark"]Just another opinion but I would go suzuki. I have done some research lately and was told the warranty issues as far as dealer support has changed. I -90 marine does warranty work and if I'm not mistaken he told me the rep claimed it was all changing as far as that. Now this...

I'm not going to get too deeply involved in which is "best,"but I do want to offer a bit of perspective based on personal experience. Electronic fuel injection, ignition, etc. are certainly the wave of the future, both in cars and boats. In cars, that future is pretty much already here. All of...

Mary and Don Anderson, I'm not going to try to rig the electronics myself. We will be going with a combination radar, plotter, depth/fish finder. An integrated 8" display so as to keep the clutter down. Raymarine and Furuno both make them. Leaning toward Furuno. I'll have the dealer install...

El and Bill, cruising the Delta with fellow CD owners sounds great. Where are you based now? Thanks for the greeting.

Sam Walker, you sound very motivated to be a CD owner. Hang in there. It will come. I used to know a lot of CDF guys. Lots of respect for them. My department was Stockton; not far from you. I pass through El Dorado county a lot. My cousin lives in Diamond Springs, as did my mother before...

Don Anderson, we just moved from Carlsbad in October. Lived on the edge of Aviara. We could have been neighbors--actually we probably were, but just did not know it. :lol: :lol: We lived ocean front for three years on the edge of OB and Sunset Cliffs(SD) in the early 90s. Moved to Boston for...

Roger, maybe I will see you and Fishtales when you come up to Rio Vista. We will be getting our boat around mid-April.(fingers crossed, hoping) I'll keep my eyes open for the Delta Cruise. Granbury, Texas. I used to know it well. We lived in Fort Worth and traveled to see my grandmother who...

Dave S., ya gotta be kidding. NURSE RATCHET??? :shock: :shock: I think I used to know her. Actually, I think I dated her in my younger days. :lol: :shock: :roll: :wink: I know, it's a different Nurse Ratchet. :oops: Scared me for a moment. :lol:

Jim and Laurie, thanks for the greeting. I'm amazed at all of the members with firefighting in their background. We hope to meet both of you at some point.

Thanks, Larry. Next round is on us. 8)

I spent the afternoon at the dealer's and looked at some new info and talked to everybody including the head mechanic. I'm satisfied that for me the twin Honda 90's are the way to go.

Hi to all. First post. My wife and I ordered a new 25 Cruiser recently. Should be here (SF Bay area).mid-April. We chose the twin H-90's, but I'm still not sure if it's the right choice. Not enough information at the time. A single 150 or 200 would probably be faster,lighter. and would likely...
