So my son has friends with poontoon boats and it would seem that Mrs.
Wave has an interest in this "slow boat" approach, so we went looking
today with intention to buy.

So we were talking to the sales guy and he's very helpful - up until
he mentionied power options.

I don't want a four stroke - no, no, no. I want two stroke. They
don't install two strokes on new boats.

Ok...well, let's explore another option. Just the boat - no rigging,
no engine and a trailer. I'll install my own engine, guages and
controls.

So the sales guy asks - what kind of engine to which I reply that I
have a source of ETECs and I can have an engine, gages and controls
here by Thursday, rig it myself (I have the software on this computer)
and be on the water by Friday.

Anybody want to guess what happened next?

Let's see. If I'm the sales guy, I tell you that I like your style,
your forthright manner, and your imposing presence.
So for you, and just for you, I'm going to break the dealership's
rule and power you with an ETEC. Not only that, my source will cost
you less for the ETEC than your source.
Whattaya think of that, Mr Wave?
Am I a prince or not?
