Default Bonzi I2 Inline Engines

Anyone have anything positive or negative to say about this series of engines? I'm thinking of getting a 64" Fountain with one of these. Also, is the Inline worth the extra cash performance wise? Or should I stick with the BZx4 modified single? I won't be racing, just messing around in the lake - but I like big, scary, fast things

you would save alot of money going with WHH magum 57 with a dry tune pipe and one of Tony's m6 mod motor. i have 2 bonzi boats and three Whh boats Bonzi layup are lighter and the gel goat cracks easly. good construction though. But WHH boats hulls are layed up thick and bomb proof. and Tony's m6 motor rev's higher on the rpm's and has more tork. then Bonzi's 4 motor. and costs alot less. but it's what you want...

I would consider a lot more potent than the BX4 mod and likely a better value for your $$.
Stick with the stock inline, Keep the pipes on one side, it will deliver as much power as that boat will handle.

I still have my 64" hull sitting in the corner... We ran the hull your looking at with a fullmod inline, Had horrible handling issues... Moved the CG 50 times with no luck, Id get a better hull to wedge the inline in.... Im sure Matt knows of a few good hulls.

The hull plows water badly, and is hard to steer...
