Really?! My boat gets about 1 MPG!

Haha, a friend's boat is like that too. It sure is fun, but an expensive day out.

My outboard is just kitten sized, and air cooled, so less work washing it down. It can get a dinghy up on a plane if you sit in the right spot.

I had that little Honda on a sneak boat. very cool centripetal clutch but no reverse. very unique piece of kit.

Yeah, it would be great on a boat like that.

We have a trout lake called Lake Taupo. I'd love to get it out there on one of the plastic dinghys and do some low speed trolling.
