New Honda BF90D - WOW!

The "D" is the designator for the 2007 version with the Fuel Injection, VTec, Lean Burn, BLAST, etc. vs. 2006 w/Carbs. I have the Honda 3 blade S/S prop w/15 pitch. There is next to no break-in on this motor. With the supplier on board we kicked it flat-out to 5800 rpm's (Tech rep said top-end is actually 6300). I thought our 17 Montauk was going to flip over backwards the bow got up so fast! Everything they say about the new "Blast" for an improved hole-shot is TRUE! WOW! Anyway, I know I'm going to be baraged w/technical questions on performance, etc., and I will do my best, but understand and bear with me....this is my first power boat (yes I'm an ex-blowboater) and it came w/a very tired Yamaha 90, so this weekend was incredible. A few other quick notes. 2 Gel-Cell batteries & Selector switch moved to a starboard reinforced center console floor was very smart. Didn't have to change the waterline and the bullet does not rest in the water. Sea Star hydraulic steering is wonderful. The Lowrance LMS-527cDF iGPS is incredible. At 40 mph I get accurate depth readings in the ICW. With the 27 gal Tempo we've got great cruising ability as well to enjoy. I'm going to try to setup a my own page here and will post pictures when I do. Bottom Line - IT WAS WORTH THE 9 WEEKS WAIT! Chris & Dale Schnell "A Little Madness" - 1989 Montauk 17'

Lord, we go out on New Years Day (and pretty much year round) sailin' & boatin' round here! A Little Madness will stay in her slip, other than for haul-out to clean her & touch up her bottom, and the occasional hurricane. Doubt ya'll are doing that up there. All kidding aside, she turned out beautiful & runs fantastic. Wasn't sure how much we'd like the red canvas, but once on I see why it's a standard! I will periodically change out the pictures on our personal page for different views. Thanks for the compliments. Chris & Dale Schnell "A Little Madness" - 1989 Montauk 17'
