Hang on just a second Taz...
I said i was interested in buying a pair of engines, you were one of the people who got back to me. We chatted about price and the condition of the engines (which i agree, they were in good nic), but we never even got close to agreeing on anything.
As with anyone looking for something, i was also looking at a pair of Yams over here. In the end i decided i was concerned about the reliability of the xr2's, due to my experience with them, and the advice of several ex racers who's opinion i trust completely. The yams, whilst being older engines, had only done 100 hrs each, and the powerheads were in beautiful condition (on the inside!). They also came with all bits needed to rebuild them in the future when i felt it was necessary. They were also nearly half the price of the xr2's, and local, coming from someone i trust and know. (not suggesting you're not trustworthy in any way).
For those reasons i elected to go with the Yams, and i let you know about this decision. I still have every email sent to and from you to show this.
Shortly after that, i recall a mod having to delete a large chunk of my build thread as you went off on one about me deciding to run yams and their suitability for the boat, resulting in a bit of a tiff.
With that in mind, I fail to see where i messed you around? I did what any buyer would do, looked at a few possibilities, and made a decision.
I don't doubt for a second that you're a very nice guy. Had the yams not come up and i'd had more money available i wouldn't have hesitated to buy the xr2's from you, they seem like very good engines. Should the yams not perform, they would be next on my list.
I don't understand why you feel the need to publically deform my character without proof that i've actually done anything wrong.
