Description
When I had a boat (1957), Mercury's largest outboard motor was a 50 HP model. I could only afford a 20 HP model but you could still waterski behind the boat with that motor. The other day as we walked through the Friday Harbor Marina, I saw this huge 250 HP model (and there are still bigger ones). Since this is a fishing boat the smaller motor is used for slow, quiet trolling.

Noisy things nowadays!
We skied behind 25 hp...not like today with bass boats boasting outboards like skyscrapers on the rear! Nice shot and memory jogger!
Cool shot Bill!
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
And if the big one dies the little one can limp you home!
Made me chuckle. Great capture.
A fun shot, Bill. Great comparison of the two motors. The little one looks like a toy next to that behemoth.
I have never skied or even had a boat. even now, my garage is a two car, but with a boat inside it would be a tight squeeze to get and out of the 4Runner
Good title, that's a lot of horses for an outboard.
thanks for explaining the 2 motors, I've never boated so I wouldn't have known. As for the pic, I love it as a visual as well as as a boat photo. I love the contrast of that heaveeee motor section, like a big monster glued to the back who's gonna take over the boat once it's out to sea. (Like, "Jack---you wanna go back there and kill that thing before it eats us all???") And how it contrasts with all that white. And I love your cracked paint texture---topaz? (are you becoming a topaz addict too? I'm warning you, it takes months and lots of rehabilitation to get off that stuff!) And the water is almost like metal, as a result: I really like your visuals here. And the crop, which cuts off the boat and makes this seem even more of an abstract. Love the image...and I can't help but think (naivete warning!): Wouldn't those engines sink this thing? Shows you what I know, but they really do look like they're preying on the poor boat...
Yeah ... and the reflection! This is terrific!
Or Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Good choice on the Topaz filter and composition. I'm a wind and sail man myself but high speed can be a real trip.
I think we need a bigger boat!
My granddaughter Vika thinks it's mommy and daughter! Hey Bill, how are you doing?
