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.

Have you seen the size of that transom notch? It's huge. Plenty of room.
Although I do agree that my proposal does make the boat undesirably heavy in
the stern. However, that can be offset by laying in some appropriate
ballast forward. Perhaps a nice four-stroke Honda mounted on the bow would
provide both the necessary weight balance, and some utility as well. I'm
thinking a Civic coupe should just about do it.

Or...or...get ready...

....a perch for a Karusii Liesallthetime Marylandus!

Those are, from what I understand, *big* mothers. Maybe a MOAB (mother of
all birds) in and of itself. Also, he'd never need a foghorn.

Hell, I may patent this idea.

I'll bet you have a lot of expertise in blowing.

I love the line "low carbon footprint".
