Never, at some point we will all have to switch to turbo diesels, and when that gets too much we are looking at ripping apart a prius and mouting an outdrive to it hahah.

just more reason to sell quick and get a boat with an inboard.

you don't need to run wide open.

There's a reason the old BASS BOATS were build with inboards.

We have to start using less to become less dependant on foreign oil. Also nuclear power never should have been ruled by environmentalist. But now many environmentalist are changing their mind when they see that nuclear energy is ozone depleting hydrocarbon free. Many countries in Europe already employ nuclear energy and this country probably will too. Is it possible that we are running out of oil? Should we be content that our oil is still some of the cheapest oil of any industrailized country. You could research this stuff for years and the fact of the matter is that if your not on the inside you probably won't know the truth.

I had a datsun B210 in 1975 that averaged 38 MPG for the driving I did. My ccousin had a harley that had an engine 200 CC's bigger than the engine in my car!! It still went 70 MPH down the highway all day long and lasted about 10 years before rust completely ate it alive.
