Yep, Because I picked up a 2000 200hp to rebuild and it was CDM and O-ring heads.

Threw all the electronics in the trash and converted it back to CDI and carbs lol

Souds like CDI is a preference over CDM.
Sounds like carbs is a preference over EFI or direct injection? Is that true?
Sounds like head gaskets are a preference over O-rings. Is that true?

justa a preference with each individual.. some want total performance (switch box stuff), some just want ta ride and/or fish.....

Souds like CDI is a preference over CDM.cdi easier for high performance

Sounds like carbs is a preference over EFI or direct injectiion. Carbs easiest. Efi is the best but can get pricey. Direct injection a whole other animal Is that true?

Sounds like head gaskets are a preference over O-rings. Is that true Head gasket heads are much easier cut and swap for increasing compression

basically the above
