Any Ideas?

Woo Hoo, my first real contribution opportunity since I came back!

I was researching this manufacturer for a bow thruster for 50' monohull
houseboat I'm currently re-powering and I came across one of their
products designed as a bow thruster for pontoons - it's kind of like an
bow mounted trolling motor except that it mounts on the underside of the
deck. Obviously not something you'd drop into the water at any great
speed, but great for maneuvering in tight quarters.

I'm rusty at this - should I end with a flame under the new newsgroup
rules? Is there a probation period before I can declare omnipotence? ;-)
