I love the song! lol

No worries Pete. It's quite enjoyable seeing the differences between a 1974 and 1999 2 stroke 15 HP. There are some differences but there is also a lot of things which are the same. Over 25 years different, not a lot has changed really.

It will be interesting to see the difference between 15hp at the crank vs at the prop

Thanks Stray.
I don't have access to my boat at the moment so I will be going down but sitting on the beach. Hopefully my drone batteries are still good so I'll get some video footage off that.
