Taking a piece of puckboard and making a pattern of the holes required to fish in your own particular hut is a great way to never inhale exhaust again be it 2 or 4 stroke. I've played the exhaust game once or twice and it sux. This is a great idea though, I think.
got an ion and its seems to be awsum so far
I would buy another jiffy. Any blades that are not drilling more than 100 holes were abused IMO.
or ran into some sand or gravel lol
My wife gave me the costco one for Christmas. Not the one I would have chose, but all the manuals say Rapala and from all the research I've done it is the Eskimo Mako43cc re-branded. Only had it out once but it was -25 and it started first pull every time. Definitely alot of plastic.... Throttle concerns be but we'll see. Cuts well, which is good because I may be using it a few years so I don't offend her! haha. All things considered I'm very happy with it so far
i have a buddy that has that auger, rapala version. puts it away for the summer, outside without doing anything to it and that thing starts way easier than my strikemaster honda. cuts not bad either for how it gets abused. seems decent for the price.
