That reminds me - I was at the Newport Boat Show yesterday and went on a
Beneteau. As I stepped down into the saloon the floor squeaked! I said to
the salesman, "You know, there's a running joke on the internet ..." and he
said, "the floorboards squeak? Yea, I get that all the time!" He went on to
explain how they're working to correct the problem.

On another front, the Portabote guy said the limit for the outboard is not HP,
its 54 pounds. He didn't offer a suggestion (I didn't press) but preferred to
say that any small engine would get it up to 20 knots.

If you have an outboard motor for your dinghy, it should be cared for
like any other tool.


The "man" sails a Beneteau. Let's hope he has a dinghy AND a liferaft!
