Oh yeah, sure, I'm dumb all right. No doubt about it.


Well, you can't work out that mostly, we don't want to discuss PWC
except how to eliminate them from public waterways or use them as
targets. You're belligerent and defensive and haven't made any attempt
to justify why a small craft carrying 2 people *needs* anything like
200+ HP to drive it. AS I said a while ago, you don't want to get out
on the water, you want to get out on the water *and go fast*.

This puts you squarely into the rev-head category along with the
cigarette boat clowns and other high speed pleasure cruisers, one of
whom is generally sufficient to ruin the ambience for kayakers, sailors
and fishermen. I reckon hell will freeze over before you guys get the
PWC ban lifted where I live.

BTW I just bought 2 225HP 4 stroke o/b motors, but they're going on a
30' 6 tonne workboat that carries up to 12 pax and 20 SCUBA tanks plus
cld water immersion gear etc etc. Works out to a bit over 37 HP per
person and even that's a bit excessive. My little toy sailboat gets by
quite handily with a 2 HP Honda 4 stroke o/b.
