Big is not always better

[ross_larter]

While out the other day in my 14' 60hp boat , I was almost blown away by a 17' bayliner/inboard as it shot past me , by the time i caught up with them, i arrived to find them paddling with oars as there engine had complete died, of course I towed then back to the dock (It took 45 mins), but It did make me smile as I drove off after dropping them off as it was a lovely sunny day to be out boating (you don't get a lot of these in the UK).<br />I love my 1996 60hp mariner.

I know what you're saying. I have a very old (fugly) 13' Boston Whaler http://users3.ev1.net/~keltonkrew/whaler.html . There have been many times my wife and I have came back to the dock with a cooler full of fish and these big $$$$$ boats with 3-4 guys on them have 1 fish .<br /><br />It may be ugly but it's all I got and it gets me home safe and sound every time!<br /><br />Gotta Love it!
