Bull*hit!
You cook up batches of 'shine' and grow that 'Georgia Special' crop out
back.


Unlike Loogy, I'm not what you would call a "drinker." A few beers, a few
"girlie drinks" (margaritas, for example) a year, and that's it for me. I
do make one hell of a homemade lemonade or limeade, though... :)

Can you imagine how awful anything Loogy brews up has to be, and how
dangerous it would be to drink it?

Blech.




I can visualize him swillin' from a 2 gallon jug..... you know, the kind
with the finger hole at the top and you throw over your shoulder to support
while the white lightnin' flows out. I wouldn't take a chance on his
'home brewing'.

THanks all....

Good question. There are safety aspects to twin ownership - mainly
having a spare engine available in particular if you are planning on
running any distance off shore. I think you were looking at a boat in
the Long Island area if I recall. That part of the world, twins if
you are getting offshore a little ways.

With respect to costs, well two times everything in terms of
maintenance. I've got triple ETECS, three times everything in terms
of costs. Only makes sense.

Complexity? Not really - seperate engines are generally seperate
systems with the exception of the electrical stuff - that can get
complicated with more than one engine depending on how the boat is
wired, but usually seperate systems.

It's a trade off in a number of areas - safety, convienence,
speed/weight ratios, etc. One more of anything is going to cost you
additional money.


Triple eTecs...to assure one will be running when it is time to head for
port.






Jealous?

Does posting mindless crap make you feel smarter? It's not working.

You "visualize" more than a sane adult should. Get in your Rav4 and go
for a ride. There is life outside of Usenet, dummy!

I imagine it's a lovely place this time of year.

Yep.

Then again, I can afford to run mine more than 25 hours a summer and
not have to worry about paying my loan payment on a over priced 21'
center console with a bimini top.

LOL..

A. I'm well over the 100 hour mark for this season.

B. Sorry, I don't "finance" boat purchases. My last Parker had no load,
and I used some of the proceeds from the sale of that one to pay cash
for the current Parker.

C. Speaking of overpriced center consoles, consider a 33-footer that
needs THREE 200+ outboards. It's too big to be a trailer boat, unless
you are crazy, and it sure as hell ain't a flats boat. For what you paid
for that gashog you could have bought a really nice diesel-powered boat.
