My question was "what is so amazing about an outboard engine"? You can get painted to match your gel-coat. You can get it painted to match your arm candy's bathing suit. 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. They are busting retired people on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for smuggling cigarettes. People retire to Ocean City, Maryland and they then go to Delaware (no sales tax) and buy their cigarettes or down to Virginia and buy cigarettes really cheap and smuggle them into Maryland. If you bring in more than a carton you are smuggling and they hit you for the taxes and if you do it enough you get busted. It was the same with DC and Virginia in the late 70's and early 80's when you could only take 1 gallon of booze across state lines. People would buy booze, lots of booze, in DC at lunch time and then when they would drive home after work the ATF would bust them when they crossed from DC into Virginia. It was funny to see people on the side of the road having a couple of big boxes of booze and wine bought in DC pulled form their trunks while they were in hand-cuffs. |

Well, DC has such a law-abiding population that there's not much for the cops to do. |
