You are acting as if the "rust" bothers me a lot. It doesn't. It's just
a little something I will attend to this week.

Of course, if *you* actually had a boat, you might be spending some time
with it, eh?


Wouldn't you get better performance if you removed the paint?


But then, the whole prop will rust. Better to switch to aluminum. Or
plastic.


With that huge transom cut out, and the operator's endless supply of hot
air, why not just do away with the outboard entirely and have the skipper
lay prostrate across the transom facing aft, in the relative comfort and
security of the cut out and blow bubbles into the nearby water, creating a
surprisingly efficient jet drive. It's green, economical, infinitely
renewable, offers a low carbon footprint, and can't possibly look any more
ridiculous to the average bystander than the current program.



I love the line "low carbon footprint".
