Yea, that must be nice to use when going fishing. I went this past August but used a row boat, I should atleast invest in a motor cause my arms were killing me at the end of the day.

places we go fishing if you had to row you would die....we usually travel 15 miles minimum by days end on water

I'd like to build some kind of nimble, fast boat someday. Or maybe a souped up jet ski.

my jetski would do 70 mph no problem... thats way faster than u need on water

although my uncles off shore racing boats hit 130-150 depending on the tune and wave conditions....thats scary going that fast in a boat. you dont want to be sitting down when your going that fast..thats for sure..his race boats dont even have seats

those motors look nice, but I don' believe everything they say on their commericals. For some reason 2 stroke boat moters are "known" for torque, when 2 stroke bikes have nothing in the way of torque compared to a 4 stroke.
