Jim, I had considered outboards, but with a limited toy budget, I
always considered older I/o's for their fuel economy. Yeah, I know, on
a runabout they take up valuable space inside, but the compatible 2
cycles would drink about twice the fuel. Of course, I'm not talking
about modern 2 cycles, but the old mercury "tower of power", and
"Vulcan-4" evinrudes etc. * If the price is right I may consider an
outboard in the future myself.

The new 4 stroke outboards will do better than an I/O. In this market
you might be able to "steal" a B/M/T from a guy who changed his mind
about his boat.

That's always a consideration.


Some silly fools think eating is better than boating.

Well.......
