I think it is talking about outboards engines, not I/O's.

Re: The Go-Fast Boat

That description just shows you how "outdated" this info is........most drug runners use planes and other means now to ship product. 99% of the time when a news agency is reporting something about speedboats, or "cigarette boats", they are clueless.
