No doubt.

I was in DC in August. Mistake. Big mistake. I couldn’t walk from hotel door 100-150 yards across the street to the Metro station without needing to change my sweaty clothes.

 

Yea
Maybe Boston would be better

 

No hate from me. Bostonians are much better to deal with than New Yorkers! Although I can understand why Mainers don't care for Massholes. Of course if I went to Maine, I'd probably have an epileptic seizure as I'm not use to that healthy country livin'.

 

Evening kids, got a little snow today, leaf blower took care of it. Yes I use my leaf blower to do snow if conditions are right. Got some pics of a new boat setup our company is launching. It is a go fast 32’fishing boat. I don’t work on the line that produces them,but the engines just amaze me. The company Seven is the manufacture. The are made with a Corvette engine block. Stock with 527 hp, with a chip tune, 600+hp. Thought you motor heads would appreciate. Personally I can’t afford the gas. The guy in the pic is 6’ tall and about 300lbs.

 

Damn

@jwctaco Out of curiosity what is the point of hanging that much weight and that many motors on the ass end could they not do just as well as the cigarettes do with one engine ? Seems like a lot of hair pulling syncing the engines and controls lol

 

It’s only money

 

I would go with this instead ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gikJsnVx1yc after I won the lottery and found someone to teach me how to drive the damn thing lol 120 plus miles and hour SMDH I do not mind speed on 4 wheels but on the water wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much crap to go wrong or at least more then on land lol

All about layout..
All the motors are beyond the transom.
Inboard requires space in the deck area plus access. Requiring rearranging fuel tanks.
Changes in support ribs.
Plus it looks a lot cooler than a inboard.

 

I can’t picture you in a barber chair...

 

The new rage is outboards with the controls of inboards, joystick/navigation. If a engine goes down, you pull it off and put another on. Inboards are a major undertaking, most rebuilt in place. If the block on a inboard has to come out sometimes it involves a partial deck removal, a lot of down time, a lot of money.

 

Try being on the Windward side of Oahu in Kailua / Kaneohe Bay during the summer months 85° 65% humidity!!!

 

I still have enough hair and even have to have it thinned cause it gets to thick unlike others who shall remain nameless ...lol

I have 2 Benelli's an Ultralight and an early Heckler & Koch Imported Benelli Model M1 Super 90. Wouldn't mind a 3rd, just saying...

Oldest son moved to Boston less than 2 weeks ago. 1,336 miles don't even have to look it up. Well 2 weeks ago I did. Been there more than once my youngest sister used to live in Boston. I have no desire to go back. Maybe someday now it might happen. Or not. Nephew in Buffalo goes there quite a bit and said it is only a 45 minute plane flight for him if I need him to go for some reason. I always did like that kid.

 

Problems I'll never have...

 

It Is funny you say that I just took the dog out and was thinking well maybe it is for ease of maintenance like aircraft engines on a C5 we could drop a motor and rehang and trim in 8 hours . Other birds with internal engines like the F4 the fastest I personally know cause I helped was 12 hours out and back in . The boat control by wire is interesting what fail safes are there ? I mean whipping along at 70 mph on the water the motors do an uncommanded hard left could make life very interesting .. Same as it does in an aircraft with almost the same result lol

I used to have to drive to the Pentagon Annex from the Tidewater Va. area once in awhile, at all times of the year. In uniform. But was nothing compared to walking across the grinder in Florida to the chow hall at 0600. The starch in my uniform would literally be running out of it with the sweat. And then you start your day. OK maybe the cold here isn't quite so bad.
