Should all work
I guess someone should let Skater, DCB, Spectre, MTI, and brands alike know those O/B powered boats are not power boats and need to start coming with rod holders huh?

I would bet most Outboard Guys will hold their motors wide open a lot longer than you I/O guys.
Some of you may have some MPH but we go the distance!

Anyone that has Verados check out (The Verado Club) website. It was built by someone I know many years ago. Pretty good site.

Oh. Now we are comparing cats to vhulls? Why not compare cats to bbc cats? Because OBs don't make the power. That's why.

I did not list a bunch of cat builders?

Are Vee hulls the only thing o/b's power?


Last I checked this thread simply asked about an O/B tech area.....are those O/B's cats running some kind or crazy unknown motor that is not the same as any other O/B? Do they get an O/B pass cause they are on a cat? They are sports boats but a go fast vee hull with O/B's isn't (i.s Active thunders new design)?

I just want to be clear so I can keep my man card and be all tuff, macho, and stuff

I do enjoy the knuckle dragging thought process of many here.....big and loud equals man.

Fact is outboards are appearing on OFFSHORE boats which this site is all about, not river runners and silly stuff like that that so many seem to get caught up in.

I'll just point to the Boyne Thunder thread and all the views compared to the Lake Havasu bling fest threads. Gimme chop and throttling any day over the 800 mph river whip-dee-doos. If it's with outboards then I'm cool with it just as long as they're running in the tough stuff.

answer me this. Why does OBs need its own section? Can questions about those not go in q&a? Or DIY?
