As for my pattern of use, it's not particularly relevant. Where I keep
my boat, I can get to good fishing spots in 15 minutes to an hour of
running the engine. So, it's easy to spend the entire day fishing and
not have the engine on for more than hour on some trips. I can cross
Chesapeake Bay in 15-20 minutes and drift fish for flounder all day long
without starting the engine up for the return home. You can do these
sorts of things when your boat cruises easily at 25-30 mph.

Maybe so but 115 hours in 4 years is very light usage by anyone's
definition.

You need to get out more.

We've run 200 hours in the last 5 weeks.

Yeah, well, what takes you 200 hours I probably can do in two on a
commercial flight. I like being there, not getting there.

Not unless you're supersonic.

And try landing your commercial flight here in Hadley Harbor. The
Forbes family will *not* be amused.

Well, of course...near the top of my list is what "the Forbes family"
cares about, eh? Why, I care almost as much about "the Forbes family"
as I do about Dick Cheney.

This was really posted by the guy who was contemplating (due to his
narcissism no doubt) repowering the Parker with a 300HP Yamaha! What
next, Harry?
