One further point, about the cold bloodedness. That is only true for me on the first start of the day. Once I make the first run, the motor is perfect for the rest of the day.

As to the body search comment in the previous post, I'd love to hear the logic chain that ties this to the motor. I don't care what the motor is - if your boat gets in trouble, it ain't the fault of the motor, it's the fault of the pilot.
