Default Replacement for Moped

Since JimH is ready to move up from his Moped, here's a little car that
might be the next logical step. Starting to see quite a number of them
on the street here.

Leaving JimH out of it, here's the nautical equivalent of your "smart
car". When and if oil hits $100/bbl, alternatives like this will
become more popular. Kiss water skiing goodbye.
We have a local dealer for these, and I've been out for a ride on Lake
Union in a Duffy. Absolutely quiet, about like sailing.

And what is Don doing to conserve energy? See lots if Duffy's in Naples
area of Long Beach, California. Lots of the homes on the canals have one.

At Alexander's Lake down in Killingly there are a couple of the 20
footer's. I've been on one and frankly, I'm wasn't overly impressed
with the boat.

Don, you reconsider "going out on your own" you are not ready to do it.

Why don't you wait for you idol, Harry, to verbally trash someone first and
then you can pile on.

Gee, they look kinda pretty.


Yes - it's just not my thing - kind of like pontoon boats - if it were
in my power, I'd sink every freakin' one of them - except for those
with decent power and speed.

Also, as an engineer, I wasn't happy with the quality of the wiring
and the routing.

Granted, I only saw one and I don't know if it had even been worked on
by a butcher.

I read that in the mid west they have a new kind of fuel, its 85% alcohol
and 15% gas. Only certain cars can use it at this point, you can tell by
your vin #. Its about 60 cents less per gallon. Im wondering if the marine
people are looking at alternative fuel sources like this for boating....
