Nicely done, Chuck. That's what I'd call a 'very interesting' boating post! I also like the article about the Lehr small outboards. If I needed a small outboard, I'd sure be looking into one of those.

I agree with Wayne's comments about the internet version of the magazine. Very easy to peruse.


I wonder if that Lehr was designed and engineered by Karen's blokes,
down under?

Perhaps it was! Bernardo Jorge Herzer, the CEO of Lehr, was a licensed ship's captain, spent a lot
of time at sea, and, in fact, made trips to Australia. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't get his
great ideas from Karen.

Now *that* is funny. What great ideas would Herzer get from Karen of Oz?
How to weld a rusty diesel engine ontop of a handbuilt rusty lower unit
and call it an outboard motor?

Herzer's company has a propane fueled four cycle engine on its outboard.
It also has similarly powered lawn tools.

Now that's really funny. Krause making a comment on the design and
manufacture of engines. A topic on which he knows next to nothing. I'll
give him one point for staying somewhat on topic, albeit a nasty,
condescending, demeaning, and totally inappropriate comment. Good going
Krausie. You haven't lost your touch.

Who said anything about the *Australian* Karen anyway?

IF you knew anything about mechanics, you'd know that it's a WHOLE lot
more complicated than that. But, then again, you're a liberal arts
major.
