dissapointed, frustrated, what do you think?

Be careful with Chantix. We had a friend of ours commit suicide after being on it 2 months a year ago. He was a father of 2 and very happy guy until he started taking that stuff. This guy had everything going for him, no money issues, great family life, etc. Chantix is well known to cause depression and has been linked to many suicides. One night he went to work (fire marshal for the city of Wilmington, DE)...on his way home, he pulled over and shot himself in the head. His wife is currently working with an attorney on the case.

Going to go look at some engines soon. What do you all think about the mercury four stoke 115hp, Mercury optimax 1.5l 115hp and the Mercury optimax pro xs 115hp. All 2011 models. Any Yamaha or Honda thoughts could chime in too.

So what was your secret to stop smoking? I bought some chantix a while back an never even started. That was about 100bucks down the drain.

Chantix worked great for me. Like a lot of long time smokers, I had tried almost everything. Plus being medical, I had easy access to most every new drug and or gimmick that came around. None worked at all for me until I took Chantix. Some people have weird dreams with it, but I didn't. It did make me nauseated every damn day, but the good side of that was I also lost about 14 lbs in a month.

The secret to quitting smoking is YOU. You must want to quit then just stop. I went from 3 cartons a week to 0 smokes ever. I have been off smokes for over 2 years now. Just get your wife to get lung cancer and loose a lung you will quit too.

Now she turns the key starts right up and she soars. I am running a 17 pitch prop, tried 15p, 3 blade vs 4 blade and also ss. This aluminum 17p was the best. I got 41-42mph with myself and a full tank of gas. When comming out of the hole she jumps out of the water and at wot with a little trimmed up there is only about 4 feet of rear toon in the water. Lovin it!!!

That's purty......

Tell the truth, you sometimes go outside and just stare at the motor, don't ya?

cutty, I'm a little confused.. did you change out motors or just props? Your signature on your first thread says 150 optimax and your last pic is a 150 optimax I think... regardless, it looks GREAT.... Whatever you did, glad it worked for you.

Once he changes his signature, it updates the sig on all his old post.
