Does seem strange everything above 2000 rpm is about the same

Oil is lighter than water, that’s why it floats on the surface. But yet you can have an oz of each. If you want to put anywhere between 11.5-13 a gallon that’s fine won’t make any difference. The only time you need 50 to1 is WOT. You probably leave an oz in the container anyway

You guys ever watch that “Making It Metan” on YouTube? If I had the resources, I’d love to take mine to them. I’d be crazy to have $100,000 V20, maybe if the right 6 numbers come in.

Deck storage depends on model. My fuel tank is next to the splash well, the the deck hold with deck between it and the cabin door. Have seen them with tank in the center and deck storage against the splashwell. The deck hold is a lousy live well, no easy way to get water in or out. When I...

Yep, been smoking hot here also. Wife and daughter are both off for the 4th this week, so maybe i can sneak a trip in 80% chance of rain tomorrow, but 10% for the rest of the week. But that maybe just the chamber of commerce forcast.
