My dad purchased an outboard thinking that it would be easier to service. All it did was raise the price of parts. My question was "what is so amazing about an outboard engine"? Over 500HP from one OB motor is amazing. Sure it's expensive as hell, and the company may not last to honor warranties, but it's still an interesting design. |

You can get it painted to match... There really isn't anything special about it other than you can get it painted to match anything you want and you could hang 4 of the off the ass end of some boat and have a $300K of motors on a $150K boat. There is a guy in the UK who has a 90 MPH inflatable boat with eight 250 hp outboards. Cross Channel smuggling is what he does. You can make a good living on cigs and booze and not risk the heavy time for drugs and guns. Casady I'm sure they will see some buyers for that use. |

They are just trying to supplement their meager social security checks. Perhaps some heavy fines and jail time will cut down on the smuggling. I'd also favor tripling the amount of cigarette taxes imposed and collected, and raising the taxes regularly until the entire tobacco industry is driven out of business. The world would smell better. Anti-gun proponents would say the same about ammunition. |

This is just crazy. If you really want to help society, jail and fine parents who let their kids get so fat they can't even fit in a school bus seat... You start a campaign for that, and I'll work on eliminating cigarettes...deal? Eliminating smoking will ease the burden on Social Security, right? |

Buy a bunch of booze and tobacco, move it to a different car and when the ATF pulls you over, refuse a search and then file a lawsuit if they search the car, even with a warrant. Go for it. Let us know how it turns out. |
