Gosh. Hertv was wrong. Again.

No, you were.

Remember saying this Harry?

"An absolutely idiotic, simple-minded comparison for any number of
reasons, not the least of which is the fact that that old bubble boat of
yours had about 2600 pounds tied up in engines."

You were speaking of *engines*

Then you said this:

"So what's a little outdrive like you had weigh? 1000 pounds?"

Note the word *outdrives*.

Nice try Harry.
