It sounds stupid until you realize that being able to go twice-three times as fast as old-school-style fishing enables you to get to fishing grounds 2+ times the former accepted distance from home.
Whoa. Apparently my first boating career peaked too early, when a 150 was King and a 110 or 115 was also royalty. I REALLY like the idea of 1K horses hanging off the back in two units. Lose one there's still 500 horses, you know?
@@petiecoe5294 It's great how the outboard has become the standard, again. Is I/O still a legit propulsion unit, given the relative inaccessibility of certain components? I used whomp every I/O in the harbor in a race with the 85 Chrysler vs. 250-280 CI on in I/O. IIRC. I'd beat 'em off the line like crazy, planing off in ~4 seconds. You could follow the phase of the moon changing while waiting for some of those 18-24-footers to get level with the top of the water. Eventually they'd get up to speed and blow by me ... about five cable-lengths downwind.
Now, I have watched these two outboard motors start-up for over 60 times and, so far, each time the right motor starts first. Has anyone seen the left engine start first?
Astounding anyone can afford anything like this. I made about $56K/yr as a nurse and could not put gas in a boat that boat. I’ve known people that make $60,000/month that would not own a boat like that. Must deal in drugs to own it.
If an unexperienced captain goes to trying to race that thing over haulover inlet or any rough seas anywhere, folks on that back seat are going into the drink. This boat is a lawsuit waiting to happen
