I hate to sound like an old man (even if I am) but in my younger days a 5 H.P. motor was considered a "fishing boat" motor. A fishing boat being a well built (i.e., heavy) wooden 14 - 16 foot boat. Now 'a days it seems to take at least 50 H.P to push he same boat -- maybe the horses are getting smaller? In your younger days motors ran on steam! Wilbur Hubbard Bruce, was Wilbur being unkind to you? Actually, the horses aren't getting smaller, it's just that the hardwiring in the brains of some today can only produce one thought---there is no substitute for having the biggest one in the group. Although they're talking about their boat motors, we all know the basis for that psychological affliction of only the biggest is the best. LOLOL But all we wanna do is putt-putt-putt around the nice quiet, placid lake and soak up some rays...no water skiing, no planing, no drag racing, no attempts to cross the Pacific via Hawaii...just putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt....................................so ya think the DF4 will do that huh? -Jay Jay |
