it sounds good, I think I want to stick to an older pre 03 motor. I like the motors with less bling and more after market mod available. I want simple solid speed. I dont care about the green BS i dont beleive it. I live on a short lake and need to get to 80-90 in a hurry. 97-2000 pro max would be great. A 260 sounds good I'm just not sure about the hours I will be doing about 100- 150 hours a summer. I think I would love the excelleration though. I would like an alien, but some of the 97 I have seen look retro and would be cool to have 175 stickers on it.
