Outboards rock if you have enough of them. This rig needs a couple more. I really do miss the simplicity of my 200 hp V-6 Merc 2.4. Modified, it made my Hydrostream go 85. I still had gear case problems though. I twisted a prop shaft and wiped out a brg carrier and put in a double roller brg output shaft carrier.

Boomers were gifted the most prosperous economy possibly in the history of the world by the greatest generation blowing up the rest of the industrialized world. They're to old for the sports boats now.

I don`t like my nonboating friends on the boat, they ask too many stupid questions, get too drunk, make a mess and think I`m a shuttle to deliver them to the dock or pick up more friends.
NOT HAPPENING.

My friends boat and have boat know how.

Maybe I wasn't born with a golden spoon in my ass and my friends are hard working people who work a hard week and enjoy to relax on the weekend.

Some have boats, some don't, and zero are freeloaders as you call them. I happen to be in a position to get a nice boat and I feel privileged to do so. I happen to share that with my friends who are my family since I don't have an actual family.

I think you should not be so pretentious and assume things we don't know.

That is a nice start.

Pretentious eh? Sarcasm escapes you.
Irony is, I agreed with you, but not dumb enough to argue it on a forum titled "OFFSHORE...something".

Well done....

I will agree with that statement if you can agree the reverse is also very true.

Absolutely.

Usually what is the most fun is the least sensible. Most have to find that middle line to get the most out of what they can .
