Cool.

Do you have pictures? Where do you do your boating? How does she handle in any kind of sea?

I haven't given up on my 318 yet but would love to know what the mounts look like. I'd want 2 on mine though..

i'm going to run one in the center this next year and keep my 318 going as long as it will go and then when it fails put the second one on. I think I'n going with a 90hp for it is the smallest size in the series.

Just as backup and test the HP for the center position.
