Yeah, right. Like I would tell you so that you can monkey with the
surveyor
and/or seller.

I'll post the marina's name on Sunday when I get back to Naples...after
the
sale goes through.

Jeez, you're paranoid little putz, aren't you? By telling the name of
the marina, how would anybody know who the surveyor, or owner was? It's
odd that every time that Harry mentions buying or selling something,
you all pig pile on, asking for all the details, and if they aren't
given, you call him a liar. Have an Ybor Gold for me, it's good stuff.

I never call Harry a liar. I believe that he owns the boats that he says he
does, and he has done the things that he says he has. But I'm pretty sure
that the lobster boat is co-owned with somebody else.

As for you...
I don't believe you have a *real* engineering degree. Possibly an
engineering technology degree...but certainly not a real, honest-to-goodness
bachelor degree in engineering.

NOYB,
Can you imagine any project Kevin worked on? Kevin has never been one to
show any attention to detail that one would expect from an engineer.

OK NOYB, I will bet you $10,000 that Harry does not own the Lobster Boat and
has not graduated from Yale. ; )

Kevin,
What was the venue the saw the APO perform?

There are a few new tricks but with a ouboards that can be steered,
you can handle it almost like a single. One of the issues with twin
OBs is that the props are not usually far enough apart to generate the
steering torque necessary to turn the boat in its own length, as most
twin inboards can by putting one engine in forward and the other in
reverse.

Thanks, Wayne. I heard that you can compensate a little bit by increasing
the throttle with the reverse engine.

NOYB,
I am wondering if you are offering rides and fishing trips on your new boat.
If you want I can bring Kevin down with me.

I suspect that he'd leave the same slime on my boat that a catfish leaves on
your fishing line. And once that happens, the other fish stop biting. No
thanks.

Yes, and you can also turn the engines (steering wheel) in the
direction you want to spin the boat.
