back in the 80's a guy ran the illinois river with a 28' jo boat and 300 merc with a hand stik. he was a sheller. lots of oomph for a boat-load of mussels. work boats are built for that stuff and they can handle the ponies. i don't think tsquared has been around very many BIG work boats. not trying to start nothing and don't mean no disrespect.
All you guys ought to search YouTube for sprint boat racing. A twelve foot aluminum hull with up to 1000 hp vee eights racing in a three foot deep channel winding around islands in 15 foot wide paths. Speeds up to 90 mph.
around here they're called "plate" boats. 1/4" thick aluminum. you bunch of know it alls don't know squat. been a river rat for years. this 'un aint that special. you oughta see what some of the commercial fisherman handle on the mississippi and illinois rivers.
Go vertical!
ReplyDeleteI bet after paying for that outboard motor he didn't have the scratch to buy a new picnic table for the boat.
ReplyDeleteThe picnic table is a nice touch
ReplyDeleteI didn't know anyone made a tiller steer motor that big.
ReplyDeleteThey are usually duel or quad setups on sport fishing boats. That motor will rip the transom off that boat if the throttle is hit hard.

DeleteCome on now, they are just transporting the wooden table out to their 'secret spot' on the bank of the lake.
ReplyDeletetable needs an umbrella for shade
ReplyDeleteNo way would I ride in that buggy wide open. Ought to be named, The Reverend Mr. Death.
ReplyDeleteThat's just wrong. I'd guess they put the table in the boat as a counterweight, the stern was probably close to going under.
ReplyDeleteThey guy in front doesn't know it, but he's ballast.
DeleteProbably borrowed the boat from Jeremy Clarkson. POWERRRRRR !!!!
