Holy Christ the Liability!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sticker has got to go. Can you imagine if someone fell out of the amusement ride??

[baja200merk]

Maybe it's an Evinrude ferris wheel.

I see he keeps the wrench handy :D:leaving:

[MercNuts]

It's good to see that BRP stuff is good for something.:D It makes me wish I didnt take all that Johnson and Evinrude stuff to the scrap yard. Is there an OMC powerhead hooked up to that ferris wheel somewhere? I guess it would spin too fast and throw people off with Mercury power. Nothing worse than a fast ferris wheel.

maybe the operator thinks he is boating he looks happy

[playin boats]

They use BRP products because Mercury stuff requires 50 hour rebuilds

And you have to spin them 10,000 rpm before they make any power. :leaving:

I was thinking, maybe we can add an "OMC/BRP Ferris Wheel Riders" sub-forum? :leaving:

[specboatops]

Same group of folks (Skinners) that put on the Boone County fair, I've noticed that before too. Some pretty good replies in this thread as well.......
