Yeah they are jerks

 

I keep finding new bruises and I slept for 10 hours last night. Marks of a good weekend, methinks.

 

Do second gens have a problem with the spare tire cable thing seizing up?

 

I’ve never had one come in with that issue

 

Oof

 

You found a piece of movie history

 

Got me a new outboard on Craigslist, because I’m 90% sure the Volvo sterndrive is gonna leave me stranded... eventually.

Old early 80’s Sears engine, I think it’s made in Japan by Tanaka Power Equipment. 7.5HP Should be enough to be a kicker/trolling motor. Two stroke, so that’s fun. Can’t afford a four stroke.



Gonna look like this:

 

That kid I’ve been complaining about on here finally got his 4Runner impounded. No proof of ownership, insurance, Cali plates, registration, or any documents will do that. Only took literally two years of him driving it.

 

Wait so you leave both motors installed?

 

Those wouldve been even cheaper and easier to store

 

Yeah, using an outboard motor like this is called a kicker or trolling motor. When you’re fishing you don’t want to be running the main engine at low RPM because of overheating issues and fuel consumption, so that’s why you use a much smaller powered engine to just chug you along when pulling nets or lines behind you.

It also bonuses as a rescue motor if the primary engine fails. The primary motor is 130 HP, and the kicker motor is 7.5 HP. Won’t get you going full send ski boat speeds tho.

 

Try paddling a 3,000 pound fiberglass ski boat across the San Francisco Bay in the wind with wooden paddles lol

 

Ok so hire a Viking crew

 

Almost as easy as lassoing a whale.

 

If you make fun of him enough, eventually he comes out and replies

 

You'll wish you had the paddles when both the 130hp turd and the 2 stroke turd that are both your age multiple times over decide to stop working at the same time

 

When your motors fail

 

At that point you just go down with the ship so your family can collect the insurance payouts on the boat and your life insurance, they’d be a whole $54 richer.
