Damn, did you see what happens when you put one of the heavy ass Yamaha
on the back of a LT boat. Forget boats, you need to wear a survival
suit if you have a LT Parker and a Yammi.

I'm wondering if he ever started the Yamaha. If he did, it was well after
the rearward motion began.

You might be correct, but I think Etec has a lot more loss by fudging
the video, then they can by showing the video.

Is your new boat one of those wet LT models?

This is it, except that mine will have a Yamaha 150 on the back.

Oh, and I ordered a red bikini for the babe.

I saw the Yama based boat lurch forward, right from the start for a
second so I know at least he engaged. Almost like he did not floor it,
or the Yamaha just does not deliver the torque..

I missed the lurch, and thought I was paying attention!

They really should have run the test several times to make sure each
was applying throttle at the same rate.

It certainly is an important test for boaters who
hook up stern to stern with another boat and play tug-a-war.

You better be wearing a neck brace and seatbelt when you firewall that
150 on your new boat. :}

Make sure you get properly propped. That engine should turn 6000 rpms
when level with the water and with two or three guys and a full load of
fuel aboard. Mine does. You will have a different prop, but it still
should produce 6000 rpms or damned close to it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, and wondering if I'll have to do
that when I get my boat. Did you, and if so was it hard finding an
E-TEC to tie up to?

There's no problem finding eTec's tied up to the dock. I finally saw one
running the other day, on the cop patrol boat. The cop was idling out of
the marina. I thought his engine was noisy.
