Wow. and only $70,000.00 a copy too. BUT you get a custom paint
job w/
each purchase!

?;^ )

No, really. That does seem to be an amazing engine....

What do you find so amazing if I may ask? They said it was a Caddy
engine, with a blower...

Will your local Caddy dealer know how to work on the motor and the
lower
end?

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"?

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.



Good.


They are just trying to supplement their meager social security checks.

-----------------------------------------

Be interesting if the people set up a sting operation. 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.

Yup. the same one with a fat surgeon general and smoking CEO.

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.

I'm sure they will see some buyers for that use.

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?
