Agree .. Most young men I know think that they should get paid to text at work . Good to see young gear heads having a goal and putting the work and dedication into reaching it. And then getting scooped up by a big outfit ..

Chaz = thinkin, does my heart good

They are out of gear instantly but the thing sounds great and they both have job offers with Honda when they graduate. They have almost 2K into that complete motor-pretty cool. It was all done in his one car garage. He showed me a bunch of pictures on his Instagram page when we ran into them on the St. Johns a few weeks ago.

From the link... "The fastest outboard engine on the market produces 627 horsepower but weighs twice as much"
I have to assume this is referring to 7 Marine. Since when did that become the fastest OB? Do the millennial's not know the difference between "fastest" or "produces the most horsepower"
Other than that great kid!
