[Rhodes22-list] HELP! How about a debate on.. WAS: A GREAT Email List

[L. Sailor]

Gang at the bar:
   
  How about a debate on which engine exists for elle's boat? We cannot find one that has 1) cables coming out the side,) and 2) shifter remote so I can work the controls.
   
  The way it is now, I would have to lean over the transom, practically hang by my heels to reach the shifter, and steer with my feet while looking aft & down.
   
  I don't think this is a trend I want to be responsible for starting.
   
  Seriously, tho', this is a major problem. It has nothing to do with it being a wheel boat...just all the engines I 've found have the cables coming out the front  which will hit the motor lift. (And, of course, the shifter problem.) I would like to stay with a Japanese made engine.
   
  Anyone, ANYONE out there have a suggestion? If I can't get this solved I will have to get rid of the boat.
   
  I'll be in touch with GBI when they get back from ST. Pete.

Joe,
You must be media deprived.  I am bored and irritated to
find on a sailors' forum the same discussion of politics that's on every
radio and TV talk show as well as so many other blogs and lists.  
A
debate on bottom paint would be refreshing.
