captpierre Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Was at the Bobcaygeon lock yesterday with guests. An OPP boat is towed in by a 20+ yr cuddy, mid channel. Fairly young guy and gal cops had a 300 hp very new looking Mercury Verado. Couldn't help myself from yelling " Shoulda got a Yammy" They weren't impressed with the situation to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 If it was a Yammy the parts would be on a boat and here by Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 If it was a Yammy the parts would be on a boat and here by Nov. Wouldn't be necessary as Yammie's don't break down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Why do I think that this has nothing to do with the motor and all to do with them hitting something? You should see what the young kid do the Coast Guard boats, it's almost unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky80 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I hope that the two rope used met the stringent Ontario standards to keep us all safe from certain death, and the boater towed the OPP boat in a manner that meets the stringent Ontario standards to keep us all safe from certain death, and that the OPP officers had their life jackets securely done up to meet the stringent Ontario standards to keep them safe from certain death.

jimmer Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I agree, their boats are a little over kill for the Kawarthas. What a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Actually, I'm glad they buy North American. That's what governments should do IMO. Couple years ago I saw an American Coast Guard boat with 2 big Hondas on the back. If there is an outboard made in the home country, those are the ones governments should buy. It's all about image and manufacturing jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
