    Being I bet the 665 is so nice and stronger then my 65cc PP415. I wont even touch the muffler on 415 or even think about porting. Just that strong stock and gets all I need done. Heck the 415 even came stock with 24" 3/8.

    Not quite a fair comparison IMO, running a box stock saw that is not broken in yet and giving away 7cc against a ported 441! That would be like running the 441 against my ported Husqvarna 288XP running the same 36 inch bar/chain.

    Not really...

    Only because it's not home yet. As you know, it's still in Tennessee. It would take a very good or convincing trade to get me off of that saw. I loved it unported. Ported, it should be a beast.

    I guess I stated that wrong. By me say the 665 was no slouch, I meant that it was very close to the 441. Even not fully broken in, this saw is very impressive.

    I have 2 videos I took today, but they will have to wait till I am home on Thursday. Unless we go somewhere that has free WiFi and I can upload them to YouTube there.

    Yeah! beer run is my vote! I'll have a Yuengling 12 pack! Did you notice that Yuengling is now making ice cream? The espresso flavor is great! Perhaps you might have Randy run your ported 362 against a ported 665, just to see and give Steven an unbiased opinion LOL!

    I told Randy to keep it until next week. But if he will be doing the 665 fairly soon? I would not be against leaving the 362C-M in his hands. He is one of many men here that I trust and cherish his friendship. He is welcome to do as he pleases with that saw.

    As for the beer run. We brought quite a few provisions. :) But we may be going out for dinner later. We just got in last night, and the first day we use to clean up (me outside, the wife inside).

    I may purposely go to a McDonald's or BK, just to use their free WiFi. :thumbs: But it won't be until tomorrow. It's about an hour to reach any type of civilization.

    You are lucky to have the place your FIL built, stay there and enjoy the family. Saws can wait, they are just a tool after all.

    I do feel lucky. I am blessed I'm many areas of my life. :) Thanks guy's.

    The Wife is at Wal-Mart right now, so I am sitting on the porch, not moving my hand, because it's the only place I have a signal. LOL..


    Once I return home, I will have numerous photos of the cabin, saws, places went, and things we did. So Thursday, be on the lookout in the "Everything Else" Forum for my Cabin thread. :thumbs:


    And yes WVhunter, the saw looks awesome with the Total. I was gonna just run the Forester and put the Total on my 362C-M, but I am gonna buy a Sugi for the 362. The Total will go on the 665 after all. :) The Forester I have will probably go up for sale here (or trade) ;)
