[QUOTE="fishnmusician, post: 148155, member: 3595"] Thanks to all who replied to my post.... I can tell this site is going to be a great source of information. Maiden voyage will be tomorrow.... I ended up purchasing the Honda BF15D with electric start. It was a little on the high dollar side for a 15 hp, but was easy enough to tilt by hand that I don't think I will miss the power tilt for what I will be using it for. The dealer set it up in a test tank, and I could not believe how quiet and smooth the thing ran at idle. This motor seems to be be basically a downrated bf20 from what I have been able to read - 500 or so less top RPMS and different carb jetting, etc... I can live with a few less mph if it means less fuel consumption and longer motor life. Anyway, thanks again! Looking forward to bobbing around like a cork tomorrow while all the jet skis and "Nitro Blasters" are tearing up the lake... I'll be island hopping, finding arrowheads and fat pine for the fire. When the sun goes down and the summer folk go to sleep, time to catch a few cats! Watching the movie "Bait Shop" and rooting for Bill Engval..... [/QUOTE]
