What happened to them? |

: A guy I know recently repowered his Grady with new, twin Honda 225's. What sweet running engines! There are two 90hp Hondas on the big pontoon boat taxi running back and forth across Charleston Harbor from Patriots Point Museum to the main peninsula at the tourista/cruise dock. I asked the captain how many hours are on them. He said he didn't know any more as the hourmeters didn't last THAT long... (c; He was thinking about buying them some new impellers when they changed the oil in them.... Larry -- Please - Turn OFF cruise control when you turn on windshield wipers! |
