Leaving JimH out of it, here's the nautical equivalent of your "smart
car". When and if oil hits $100/bbl, alternatives like this will
become more popular. Kiss water skiing goodbye.
We have a local dealer for these, and I've been out for a ride on Lake
Union in a Duffy. Absolutely quiet, about like sailing.

At Alexander's Lake down in Killingly there are a couple of the 20
footer's. I've been on one and frankly, I'm wasn't overly impressed
with the boat.

Gee, they look kinda pretty.

Yes - it's just not my thing - kind of like pontoon boats - if it were
in my power, I'd sink every freakin' one of them - except for those
with decent power and speed.

Also, as an engineer, I wasn't happy with the quality of the wiring
and the routing.

Granted, I only saw one and I don't know if it had even been worked on
by a butcher.
