Has it occured to anyone that you _can_ not reply to rif raf, not
reply to those misguided souls that reply to them, and if you want to
be hard, reply only to boating posts. Comments on the state of the NG,
while not individually obnoxious, just add to the noise level. Think
S/N before you post. Do all this and the problem goes away.

Now for the obligatory boating content. I have an 22 ft Alum Cuddy
with a Mercruiser 175 hp 4 banger. Does anyone know the engine
displacement?

3.7 liter. You can do the math if you are looking for C.I. :-)

Sorry, my mistake with previously stating it was 3L as that would be
135 HP.

I never heard of a 175 HP 4 cylinder Mercruiser but they must be
around.

With 226 CID It has the same size cylinders as a V-8 big block.
Given the power, a much more reasonable figure than 3.0 liter.
I never heard of it either, but that means nothing. Glad it isn't a
big block. Hell, the hull has room for two of those guzzlers. I plan
to get two of the most powerful trolling motors made, for cocktail
cruises and fishing. Couple of golf cart batteries. Beat the price of
gas. Let those of a much younger generation buy the gas if they want
to ski.
