Two schools of thought on this subject:
1. The "I don't care what nature has to say, I'm going to do what I want
to do" school.
Uses a crane to mount the biggest motor that can be found on the transom of
a P-19 and bemoans the fact that a V-8 wont fit in the cockpit.
2. The "man is quite insignificant when compared to his environment"
school.
Buys a light motor that can be removed and carried in the trunk of his 75
Volvo. He bought a "sail boat" to sail and realizes that he will have to
time his trips by the wind and tide.
OOPS, thought of a third one!
3. The "Kansas farmer" school.
Is, by necessity, in between the other two. Want's a new motor for his
P-19, but has been frugal all of his life. Can't see spending all that cash
when he has a perfectly good 12HP motor sitting, unused, in a broken down
lawn tractor out in the shed. Note: It's not a V-8, so it will fit in the
cockpit!
