That thing makes some racket. You can actually hear it coming to the boat ten feet away from you. Be safe, Rayzor 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI

My thoughts exactly. “The more you know about Donald Trump, the less likely you are to vote for him. The more you know about his business enterprises, the less successful he looks. The more you know about his political giving, the less Republican he looks.” - Lindsey Graham, 2016
