Mr. Bushwacker, Mr. Bushwacker, oh.....Mr. Bushwacker,
72potter20 is making fun of me again.
Gee Willikers, don't he know I is a product of da' Pinellas County School System!
So their.....or they'er......or I mean there.

72potter20, have you ever been to one of those NOAA Marine Fisheries "Public Outreach" meetings where 576 people get up and say "your new program stinks and 4 say we love it"? Then they vote with the four, because that's what Roy Crabtree wanted them to do anyway, but they had their "Public Hearing" so there is an appearance "of process", although it was meaningless.
Well occasionally someone will ask something on this forum like "Is anyone running one of those 225 flat 6 opposed, turbocharged, intercooled two stroke diesel, jet drive C- Kings, I'm JUST THINKING about putting one on the back of my 18"? Then 39 members chime in with all the many reasons the C-King would make a better anchor than aquatic drive system. A week or two later, after stirring up a hornets nest emulsion of mechanical engineering, thermo dynamics, and propellor disc surface theory, it is pronounced that "I went with the C-King and it is awesome!". Well maybe he wanted a C-King all along, but wanted to have an "appearance of process" by which he could report that "I ckecked with the Guys on the Classic Seacraft Site and they were like thumbs up".
Everybody builds pretty good motors these days, pick a color, bolt it on and go fishing - you'll be fine. Of course I'd get a lifetime membership in Sea Tow, if I got the C-King!
Now I'll go back down on the bottom of this forum where I belong and sulk.
