Shortwave's Wild Ride...
 

Well, I have half right.

Twin 150s on a 23 Pathfinder 23 DV.

Nice boat - utilitarian, but it was fitted out decently. There were a
few mods I would have done, but that was a personal choice.

Overall boat impression - very nice ride, quick on plane (four blade
props helped there), stable at speed as I walked around and once
trimmed out, very comfortable running angle.

Twin Yamahammers - eh. They are decently quiet, but my impression is
that they still lag in low end power and don't really hit their stride
until they hit mid-range RPM. Overall speeds were what I would have
expected even of ETECs - just took longer to get there.

I still say at speed, the ETEC is quieter than the four stroke, but
again, that may be subjective.

Had some fun out there though - it's a nice lake.

But in ten years the yammies will still be worth a nice price while the
etecs will be barely worth the scrap.

In ten years, today's four stroke won't be running.

The ETECs will still be humming along.

Right, you keep telling yourself that.
