The ignorant jibes just further demonstrated the lack of boating knowledge in this so-called "news group." The boats I had when I was a kid running them all over Long Island Sound only had 15" transoms. Yet you cant see the motor? Where did you get that idea? It was an open center console boat. The motor was equipped with senders and the Yamaha console gauge reported them. Oh, and I keep my stainless steel pristine. Like the sink next to your coffee maker? |

A while back you said you couldn't see your motor, make up your mind. ... and I prefer to use my boat, not make it pristine. Maybe that is why you don't have one now. You made it too troublesome to actually use. I get out 3 days a week, 12 months a year. How often did you go? Couldn't see the motor on the 25' Parker when I was in the cabin. Could always see the motor on the 21' Parker. Still have a boat, get out once or twice a week, get down to the marina several other days a week. I've always kept my boats pristine. Boating season for me around here is sometime in April until maybe Thanksgiving. |
