[QUOTE="Johnsboat, post: 361054, member: 14821"] Thanks for the advice on the oubtoards, and the war stories. Well....the outboards. I understand you guys are trying to help with the new guy - and I am in no way an expert, but I have been on this river for over 40 years. I understand safety more than most of you as a former military pilot. I can read a weather map, I can wear a lifejacket (and do). As for war stories, I've had the experience of seeing professionals make stupid mistakes that took their lives, that is why planning and common sense are important. Why I asked your opinion on a motor for my boat. Yes, it says max HP 9.9 but I was leary of that heavy of a motor, why I posted for your advice. Do not take the above as cockiness, just trying to keep on topic. Parts ordered last night for the 3 horse. Looks like I am doing a project now (already violating my first post). Thanks, I'll post up my work along the way. John [/QUOTE]
