Oh please tell me that's like an '88 Chapparelle (sp?).
If we're gonna wear uniforms, we should all wear somethin' different!

I prefer straight shaft inboards but everyone wants to go fast these days and inboards just have way too much drag, plus you gain a ton of room getting the engine out of the bilge. A big problem with that is all that weight that was below the waterline is now above it (Pursuit solves this by Installing SeaKeeper gyros but not everyone wants to add $30,000+ to the cost of a boat). As much as I like inboards I've become a big fan of Yamaha, I see very few problems from them and the same problems over and over with Volvo Penta drives and engines.

It's getting hard to find people to work on inboards these days. Nobody wants to crawl around in a bilge getting covered in oil.

Yup, pop one off and replace.
My buddy is a Yamaha tech. Does all the Sheriff's, USAF (MacDill AFB), and Police boats locally.
He turns down I/O and inboard work all the time.
The good guys are old, and old guys don't want to work on their knees and back.

Not to get too off track but a couple weeks back the front page of the paper here had two articles almost side-by-side, "Labor Shortage Deepens" and "Republicans Decry 'Border Crisis'". Hmm.

Hell I am having a hard time finding someone to take a look at my outboard jet. Learning to do shit myself is pretty much the only option at this point. Yep, its going to get ugly in a lot of trades.
