Re: Why I/O? (I'ts February in Wisconsin)

I'm pretty lucky with motors and out drives. My neighbor is the Volvo and mercrusier go to guy around here. He owns a boat dealership and is the Johnson Evinrude, volvo dealer. He has a weakness, he loves to duck hunt and I train retrievers as a side business. I train his dog and he fixes any break downs I have ASAP.

God bless those folks who can pop out 10 or 15 grand to "drop on a new outboard for the weekend". :eek:

x2! I notice more aggression around here, from everyone, and yes, I am saying that about myself.
I need my relaxation!

X2....I think you are supposed to yell, "HIJACK" before you say something like that. Mods...get your locks out.

No Elvis!

Well I can swap out an I/O engine in a few hours. And rebuilt costs 1/2 or less than an OB.

Re: Why I/O? (I'ts February in Wisconsin)

One place for outboards is on smaller, lighter boats. Can you imagine dragging any boat with an I/O up a shallow river to your favorite remote lake? On a larger, heavier boat for use on lakes, I prefer an I/O. Great reliability and fuel mileage are two reasons for preferring the I/O.

BTW, how can anyone support Apple, given their negative and misleading advertising campaigns? Who do you think pays that nerd who pretends to be a PC? Suckers!! Check out Windows 7 - it's great!!!
