The first is on the cop boat that never leaves its slip.

Second was on a ProLine 21, looked like a repower. Floating in the

Not many Hondas around here, either. Good engines, though. Most popular

followed by Suzuki four strokes, then Hondas. I'm not counting the small
engines, since I don't pay any attention to them.
