With that huge transom cut out, and the operator's endless supply of hot

lay prostrate across the transom facing aft, in the relative comfort and

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.- Hide quoted

Because the skipper is a fat lard ass......

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.
