Well, just to hazard a guess, I'd say it was marketed to kids, back when Batman was cool. I'd figure that the average 6 year old kid didn't think much about where the trigger was, or where the plug for the fill port happened to be.

Not many 6 year olds spent much time thinking about sex.

Of course, I could be wrong....

Now, to completely change the subject, if anybody knows where to find one of these, I'd be happy to contribute towards your early retirement, or your beer fund....

I hear ya Ingo...my left leg has about 5 of them cuts at the moment. You would think I would remember to wear my shin guards when on the Evil. I always have them on when I ride the DH, never on the street though.

I guess this is no worse than the Wal-Mart shopper bashing.

The outboard is a British Seagull.

Popular with the vintage canoe & wooden boat folks. Worth throwing on ebay, even for parts if you can't get it running.

What's the scoop on the sails? You know the sizes offhand?

[johnco]

not sure about the sizes. they came off a 28' Catalina that's sitting at the bottom of the river after Andrew. I can unfold them and check, take pictures and post. you can have them if you want. Started to raise the boat a few times since it only had a couple small holes at waterline caused by the seaplane barge hitting it during the storm. but everytime I volunteered to raise it, my father said get it up and I'll give it to your brother. so it still sits there in 10-15 ft water. it was a nice boat.

Sails from a 28' Catalina would be too big for my boat, but again you should be able to sell those easily. Just get some good pics and the measurements. Did the boat go down with the mast up?

When my boat was being painted, a whole bunch of stuff "disappeared". Winches, sailcovers, seat cushions, depth finder, cleats etc... I've been picking stuff up on ebay here and there.

That's a shame about your father's boat though. There's a 28 Catalina at our club that gets constant use by a group of fun loving hooligans. Great boat.

winds up to 200mph. sailboat tied next to seaplane parked on barge.. next to tugboat. floats on plane had a few holes punched and wingtip damaged. boat was floating next morning about daylight. mast broke off at deck and wires snapped. we went to check our apt buildings, came home and it was gone. we were not too worried about that boat or plane because a 10-12ft dia. 60-70ft tall 400 yr old oak tree snapped in half about 10ft from the ground and fell on the roof of the house. the whole house actually.

I think this was the "good guys" car from the same film...but maybe printed backward in this image (steering wheel?)?
