Good one Shep...You know, I'm kinda torn on the Harley one, as I dig that sound. So you have me there.You have a point about all the Mercs and Rudes out there versus Yamaha. I don't see as many and thats a valid point.I was at my dealership last night, talking to the owner. He's a great mechanic, and so we got into it a bit about motors. He said he still gets the Mercs and Rudes back all the time for service, more for stupid stuff, quality control problems. Not as much for powerheads anymore.He said he rarely sees the Yamaha engines in. He actually used the word never, but I'm sure they had a couple at least, who knows. I know they sell alot of them.I do believe that the manufacturers are getting it together here in the states. I saw a new 21 foot Triton X series with a Merc 250xs last night that I'm dying to get on the water. That thing has got to run in the high 70's easy.And yes, I have to go that fast.Well I have to go, I want to get out this afternoon on my Yamaha YZF-R1 for one last ride before the snow flies...=)Tyler[/QUOTE]
