    I think Charger should give me a demo 210 with a Honda on the back to play with for a few months just to experiment with

    Mr. TOC, with the 'pull' you have with Charger, and since it's rumored you're on their payroll , I'm surprised they've not provided you a boat of your choice with a Honda and told you to play with set-up just to see what you could get out of it so the rest of us would know what could be done with one. I guarantee you if a Honda could be made to run close to what a SHO 225 could on the coming 198, my decision would be MADE. If you need me to make a call to Charger and suggest this, just let me know.

Gets kinda lonely late at night on Old Hickory Lake. There's a reason the Coast Guard uses them.
    The U.S. Government purchases items through "low bid." Honda's always been willing to drop their prices for motors when selling to any government entities. I still think it's a wonder we ever put a man on the moon since NASA was built by the "lowest bidders."

    My problem is that there are no Honda dealers locally or in the general vicinity. Honda has done a very poor job maintaining their dealer base, and parts and service are very important. We also have no Suzuki dealership, come to think about it.

    3 within 50 miles of Tulsa and 6 within 100 miles never knew learn something everyday. Might consider a Honda on my next Charger if that day ever comes.
