I guess I'm missing something...

Burb, no big secret that your snowed in. No need for snow machines there ehh - here in Florida.

If you choose a hull with a C.D. of a couple sheets of plywood, and no pad to ski on.

An I.O. package that consists of weak power

and a lower unit that is relatively weak and hydrodynamically buried ..

You can't really expect to come to a "Performance Outboard" site and convert many ( if any ) to the small boat I.O. way of thinking. You can find help if you ask...

Matter of fact, you didn't even ask, and "CH3NO2-Rat" stepped right up for ya ..

Chaz= wunderin, do ya gotz waterfalls steep nuff where ya live to crack 60 mph ???

LMAO!!! You don't know much about people with outboards!!! Check out the bass boats next time you are in a large dealership. 80mph bass rig is a common place now.

Wow... He is an idiot for using "chime"? I read the whole article. He is much more intelligent than you give him credit for. And with that first statement you made out of sheer ignorance, you could be called an idiot as well.

Here is a 5 place that that will do 86 with two aboard and a full tank of fuel. It has 90 in it and will slice through wakeboard boat waves like a hot knife through butter at speed.

Any boat is the last thing I need, but I'm not getting any younger and miss having the opportunity to get on the water.

I grew up with snowmobiles starting at 18hp to my current 155. But I've also "been there, done that" with sleds so much that I don't even bother to ride anymore. My 120mph rocket now tows a sled into our cabin in the winter and nothing else.

Actually a small place here in FL with a fast lake boat in the garage is really what you need . Then when the weather turns to hell up there come on down here and ride all over the state . 75 degrees and sunny here on the west coast and cheap places available all over . Ride with us all down here when the weather is nice here .

That's just GREAT Tom recruiting more lost souls to Florida, don't you understand they need his Tax money.

Flying out of Niagara Falls tonight.

I've now spent 33 years in Florida VS 31 in NY, so now I'm a Proud Cracker, don't miss snowmobiling but I do miss snow skiing.

He also spelled "which" "witch". He did both multiple times which (the correct which) means it wasn't just a typo. I don't trust the ability of someone who can't even spell. Sorry, too many stupid people in the world.

My apologies to dad, I now see the "errerr eye maked". You as Jr. are "underscored"

CH3NO2_Rat ... It's all yellow to me ...

Mentor to me for thirty years, Big Joe brought me a frame, Topolino style roof and quarters along with some beat up inner panels. he said when he was a kid there was a guy who ruled his local track (near Rockford Il.) that told him and his buddies that they would never amount to nuthin nor would they ever have a car as nice as his.
He said nothing made him happier than when he found that old car, and called that guy and told him that not only did he make something out of himself, but he also owns his ******* car too ..

Every piece he had me make, was to his memory. He borrows his car back from Garlits museum a couple times a year to go hit a cackle fest or two.

I sat in one of those cars years ago. The thought of a rear end exploding broke me out in a cold sweat.
