Generally speaking, small boats such as outboards are far less
sea
worthy than larger boats because:

The transoms are either wide open or cut down.
The cockpits are wide open, the freeboards are lower.
They have smaller and fewer bilge pumps, often only one.
They have smaller and fewer batteries.
Cockpit decks are not water tight.
Control cables have holes in liners that allow a lot of water
entry.
Outboards have all the engine weight at the stern, making them
stern
heavy.

Well, duhh....(c;

How much tax money did this scientific revelation cost us?

Remember the gummit report on why children fall off
bicycles?...hee hee. Must be the same bureaucrats.

I recall a similar report on why people burn their mouths on pizza.

Something about the cheese being too hot..

That's a problem in this newsgroup, too. Too much cheese from
non-boaters like "reggie."
