how about CARB ratings..

and prop diameter

and powerhead width

Great work, Moe. I just had to apply the chart to my motor. I usually don't get involved in these discussions since some consider my Mac radical or extreme. (I just think of it as reverse engineering.)

The numbers, if I ran them right, looks pretty efficient for the Suzuki 140:

2.9 lbs/HP
4.99 cc/lb
68.5 HP/L

There's something to be said for 2044cc and 410 lbs. After 2 years, the boat still sits level with its lines and no stress marks on the transom. Gotta love those "mid-size" Suzukis, but it's not for everybody.

You got one of those "go-fast" Macs I'd expect to see silicone eye-candy in transparent Wicked Weasel bikinis on. Tell me you don't wear gold chains while boating!

No gold chains at all, Moe. I'm more like the guy with 100+ hp rat bike. No bling-bling. Still got the beard and currently hair is down to the shoulders--not what most people expect for a busines person my age. The silicone babes might be fun to try.

BTW my boat does sails much more than it motors, I just can't afford to be dependent on the wind when I decide to go.

I run the Tohatsu 90, light weight, high tech and lots of power.

Engine: 3-Cylinder
Displacement: 1267cc (77.3 cu.in.)
Weight: 314.6 lbs

And it is not so wide that you can't get in and out through the back.

Billy, I wear Harley t-shirts to work... sometimes under a jacket... other times it may be island shirts.



Cut my hair when I shaved, but it's still below my shoulders. We can get away with that in IT.

In fact, I think people sort of expect it.

long hair,
however it still seems to be a penalty in engineering, law and medicine.

Oh well, I would rather go sailing anyway.....
