I know that.

I was bored.

Don't you ever get bored?

Not really... I still work, read, boat, fish, exercise, play
guitar, etc. There's not enough hours in the day. As soon
as the wife gets the coolers packed and the herring plug cut
we're heading out after some spring Chinook.

How's the shoulder coming along?

Had a little scare with it from overuse, but it's doing fine. I'm out
of the regular arm sling for most of the day and just keep it in when
I'm tired.

Next year, right hip and knee.

Ouch!

I trust both will not be done at the same time.

Yep - best way to do it I'm told.

Good luck to you bud!

I think you were right Tom, the 250 hp will be faster...


I certainly agree. Ain't no replacement for displacement.

I had my right hip replaced last February. The first week is hell, but after
that it is definitely worth it. I had the titanium and ceramic unit
installed.

And it is best to do all of them at once. Mainly because the pain is so bad
that if you just have one done you will never go back and have the others
done.

Good luck,

Injam

Now if I could just figure out to get $10.00 out of y'all every time y'all

Good plan, we could all be filthy rich if you can figure it out.

Heck - I think all the lurkers should pay us for the entertainment.

'Twas definitely worth it!

The OP stated that WEIGHT of the boats is different, so top speed is
different too.

I don't believe that is true. The assumption was, as I remember it,
that the weight difference between the 200 and 250 hp engines was not
that great, if any.


Interesting discussion. As I understand it; there are two identical boats,
one powered with a 200 hp motor, and one with 250 hp. There's disagreement
as to which boat would provide better acceleration and higher top end speed.
With the appropriate prop the 250 will accelerate faster and have a higher
top speed; what the hell is the argument about?

I'm trying to understand propellers
 

the argument is because the boats are supposed to have different
weight, acceleration wasnt asked for and they have the same prop and
dont rev over 6k....

And the question wasnt worded very clearly

Absolutely. Never doubted that for a moment.

No, you are wrong. You do not understand. Read it again. You to M.
