Yeah they draw attention until someone fires up their blower motors.....and they cruise and run faster? Thats because everyone slows down cause they think youre the Cops!! Or is being the Cops really you're secret fantasy??? :)

That might be the dumbest line I have seen typed on OSO in a long time.

I think I know what he's saying. These two contrasting videos sum it up for me anyway.

When it doesn't run half the time in a place you can boat year round, the sound matters very little after a while. Among other reasons I would still take the O/B boat all day long and twice on Sunday.

Both those videos show the boats in their natural environments.....

The stock outboard- in the water.

The big power I/O- on a trailer, at a shop. :poopoo:
