I like the old stuff for simplicity, but then again I really like my new Pro XS, super nice backing into the water, bumping the key and taking off.. I dont miss trying to get my old johnnyrude started, definitely dont miss fogging the whole ramp when she does come alive..

I'm going to run my carb two stroke as long as I can, there's nothing on the market that matches the power to weight ratio. A 90 four stroke or DFI would sink my scooter.

Not even the newer 2 strokes can come close to the power to weight ratio I have with my old Yamaha 90, 2 stroke. I'm going to run my carb two stroke as long as I can, there's nothing on the market that matches the power to weight ratio. A 90 four stroke or DFI would sink my scooter.

For us weight is everything. If you're going to run back lakes and cuts, inches matter and pounds matter for inches. If I blow my 90 up someday I guess I'll look international to get a replacement, cause sure can't match with what's available today. And sure not interested in running a tub that doesn't do anything else the pack isn't doing.

I've always heard that Yamaha 90s were beasts. I had one that was a salt water motor and a real dog, but in all fairness, and I didn't realize until later, that the previous owner did no rinsing, minimal maintenance, and fed it Walmart 2 stroke oil.
