BTW I still do not get your assertion that you can't pull toys and
skiers behind an outboard. A decent sized outboard on a bowrider or
other runabout will definitely pull tubes and skiers as well as an
I/O. I would not be the least concerned about an outboard on an 18'
bowrider or other runabout - there are definite advantages to the
outboard as well as the I/O. I myself wouldn't have a 2 cycle
outboard, however, due to gas usage, oil usage and dirtier operation.
I like my I/O. Winterizing the outboard is sure easier though.

I think he's making that assertion and then will show his dad his assertion
as though it is gospel.
