I agree, Ron, Boris' $195 pricetag seems a bit spendy but, at the same time, it can be a fantastic tuning tool. Once a baseline is found, something he appears to have done, he can experiment with the needle and be able to go back to where it's at now easily. For example, I was seriously lean on Saturday and, with the meter, was able to set it to a recommended setting that woke up the boat. Without the meter, I would have been hunting for a proper setting all afternoon. This is where the meter pays for itself, in saved fuel from not having to run laps, bring it in and reset then repeat over and over. I know a little .15 won't be burning a lot but, over the course of a year or two, it adds up
