Thank God I am in fresh water
My little '63 Evinrude is still kicking strong.
My Big Johnson is nothing short of wonderful. I suspect they will both out
live me.
I looked under the cowl of a big new Yamaha that quit last weekend trying to
lend a hand and was mortified. Thats insane!
"Wait here, let me run and pick up $60,000.00 worth of diagnostic equipment and
$7000 worth of special tools and I'll be right back"
I suggested they invest in some good oars.


Actually, it's more like "Let me grab my $500 Palm PDA with the
$1,599 diagnostic software which tells me it's code 504 that I will
have to look up in the $12,000 table of error codes and I'll need that
$1 screwdriver from Ocean State Job Lot to fix it."
