here is the one that was docked at my old marina a couple of years back (that is my old merc a few boats in). as I stated on another thread, this boat is beautiful and the speed and economy stated by the owner were phenominal.. She rolled by me a few times effortlessly!

I chose a single 225 Honda over the 250 zuke at about the same cost. Chose for a few reasons. 1. warranty on the honda is 5 years vs zuke 3 right now. 2. Honda is more fuel efficient at cruise 3. The Honda is much quieter at cruise. The efficiency and noise levels are from speaking with owners of the boat with both power plants. Comfort level was another factor as my father runs a 27 Judge with twin 130 Hondas and his motors have over 1000 hours on them and they run silky smooth. Plus Bill has been rigging with Honda for a long time and speaks very highly of them. Zuke is a newer offering for them. The zuke would make the boat faster but I am a near shore/ big bay fisherman so a few knots wasnt make or break my fishing time. The near 3.3mpg at cruise on flat water at 25mph that one of the Honda owners was stating was very appealing to me!
