    Rick also happened to have the physical strength that was needed to swap out the power, if need be, on that trip...not just the mechanical knowledge of Mercury power he knew...

    OK Willabee...There is your clue. "...Building things that were pointy in the front & flat in the back, out of plastic."

    Figure that out and you can finally pull the veil off the one known only to us as "Fujimo."

    But as the saying goes..."Some doors are better left unopened."

    And the clues continue - lets see, was a FL OEM, used a lot of Merc Hi Perf stuff, apparently knew me when I was an OEM rep down in the swamps, liked us enough to post photos that no one else has access to - knows who JFL is. Why not come out of your closet and stop pissin' us off?

    Moi? .....Moi? You're insinuating that I had some dubious reason for asking Fujimo a couple of harmless questions. Non, Non .... I was just making polite conversation. By the way, I hope you're not buying into his response. After all, who spends his entire career trying to build a better plastic pencil (pointy on one end, flat on the other)?
