T&T: Outboard Power

[capteric36]

 Yamaha still makes a "High-Thrust" version 
outboard engine. The one I bout several years ago 
was a 25 HP 4-Stroke that has the bottom end (leg 
and prop) of a 40 HP motor with a different pitch 
prop, and a different gear ratio.
 They are optimized for a 9 MPH wide-open-throttle 
speed (7.8 knots).

 Someday I hope to finish building the custom 
mounting system so I can take my boat OUT of it's 
slip. Maybe just once more before I die?

 Oh well.
