Of course. Just joking. I wouldn't have a clue either and would be concerned I could inadvertently insult them by not knowing the protocol. Have a great trip.

The day my problem is dealing with a butler is the day I don't have any problems

^^^ lol the words "outboard" and "bulletproof" don't belong in the same sentence. Unless the sentence is "I'm going to buy a new outboard motor so I hope my wallet is bulletproof!"

What a write up! I'm only half way through it and have to come back to finish when I have more time. I couldn't help but skim through all the photos though. Just my opinion here but I can't look at the beauty that's "painted" on those fish, the trees, streams, and even the polished rocks and blue sky, and not believe in a higher power. That's a stunning part of the world. Thanks again for taking us there!

You drive a few sheet metal screws into the rubber knobs on those crutches and they're ice crutches!! lol Yeah, I think you'd want to be careful there. It wouldn't take much of a sideways slip to bugger up a freshly fixed knee. Potentially, you could suffer a setback and jeopardize spring fishing. Regardless you'll know better after you've had it done but it's so less intrusive now compared to years ago. My son's buddy walked in here 3 days after the surgery. Might have been looped up on Vicodin and Naproxen though!

You have to you at the specs and compare the actual difference. Outboard engineers have really closed the gap on the weight differential. A Mercury 250hp ProXs 2 stroke is 505lbs. The new 250hp 4 stroke 4.6L V8 is 527lbs. A transom designed to handle the torque load of a 250hp shouldn't be jeopardized by <50lbs.

LOL yeah, wouldn't marketing be so much easier if all products only had to appeal to the needs of one person.

Yes. Unless of course you didn't want/need a real boat.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that wearing sunglasses with two different coloured lenses can make you do crazy things. Good video. Musky aren't picky eaters when they decide to eat. lol

If you cheer for them they're DOOMED!!!

Yeah good trade...so you're a San Jose fan now???

Yes it is too bad. The "it could never happen to me" way if thinking evaporates quickly when it happens to someone else that you never thought it could happen to.

Every circumstance is different, true, but regardless of the level of protection it provides it's more that an auto-inflate which has zero padding. I talked to a guy that got knocked into the water at speed and almost drowned wearing an auto-inflate that didn't inflate. He said the worse part was the impact broke his ribs and he could hardly breath or move his arms. He now wears a fully padded vest while running at speed. No telling how much if any the vest could have protected his chest but it couldn't be worse. They're not super comfortable for nothing. To each their own but learning from other people's situations makes good sense.

In your case would do the exact same.
