Starting to wonder about your attachment to that ETEC. Nice shots, especially the wake and the stern quarter view of the Ranger. --Vic |

Nice looking boat, was that a Yamaha on the transom? I know it could not have been an ETEC, no one owns any of them. |

That must be a law enforcement boat then. I have been on Murray many times, and it never looked as good as it did in Tom's photos. I thought he was using an ultra wide lens, but he shot that with a Canon PowerShot with the equivalent of a 59mm lens. Very nice. Not too shabby for a point and shoot |

There is definitely an optical illusion, see if you can figure it out. |

Nice looking boat, was that a Yamaha on the transom? I know it could not have been an ETEC, no one owns any of them. Nine out of 13 FLW boats on Lake Murray this morning - All ETECs. The rest were Mercs. Not a Yamaha in sight. :) |

There is definitely an optical illusion, see if you can figure it out. Maybe 4" of freeboard at the stern between the top of the motor transom and the water level, and a small motor well. In any sort of following sea, you'll get pooped, the water will rush over the motor well, fill it, and pour into the cockpit. |

An interesting note, years ago, when I flew into the Columbia airport, they still had the original runaway and hanger used by Doolittle during his training exercise. They kept the lines painted on the runaway that the pilots used to represent the length they had on the carrier. If they didn't lift off before they hit the line, they knew they just landed in the ocean. |

I actually meet someone who was on Doolittle's Raid. After the war, he started a wholesale distributor to service the textile industry in SC. On his office wall he had all the photos of his plane, his squadron and Doolittle. While he had that little memorial to his squadron, I was told he didn't like to talk about it, so i didn't ask any questions. |

You might give it a shot. |

It's a little more than four inches - I just went outand measured it (something I've never done oddly) - it's twenty one inches from the water line to the top of the live well. I've actually taken waves over the stern, but the interesting thing is that the boat floats like a freakin' cork and drains very quickly. I'm sure it does, just as mine does. Keep telling yourself that. |
