It is to me. Always impressive. Just stands up there and performs. Art, pure art. Thanks Jim Neil Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Yup, I took that shot as I recall.
Here's another shot of Doug's Stack on his Power Cat 16T, same day.

And.....another shot of my 64 Tower running Amsoil 100:1 premix, towing a 62 Dorsett with a 2002 Suzuki EFI 115hp four stroke. (they ran outa fuel, engine was fine)

After reading and hearing about the Amsoil, and watching guys get all worked up about the pros n cons, I decided to try it myself.
I had picked up this 64 1000 Tower for cheap, so decided to run her at 100:1 pushing the big heavy Skagit 20. Wow, the smoke n smell goes down significantly. Engine is still running on a friends' boat at 100:1 too.
