Thread: Why?

    Is this such a slow part of the forum? Is there that few of us? Or do most O.B. folks run their boats more than they talk about them (I wish I was in that position).

    This is a west coast board that is more socializing than tech. Sceam and Fly and a couple other boards have the O/B tech covered.

    I was having more fun in the offseason, until my powerhead died.I like it much better for the same reasons.
    One thing (besides legal issues here in CA) that I think is hurting the popularity of OBs is the perception that the mags etc.. Give that the only hot OBs are the ones with 2.5s or 300 pro maxs. Most of the 18-20 ft jets and many of the stern drive bowrider "***boats"I see would be happy to see 60-65 mph. If more people knew how easy that speed is to reach with as little as a 150 hp OB they might be a little more popular. Hot boat mag gives reviews 50-55 mph jet boats all the time, but when was the last time they reviewd an OB that did less than 80? The last time I remember was when they put a single pro max (a 225 I think) on a 25 ft commander bowrider several years ago and it only went about 60...

    I think you have it all wrong, ***boat....nothing hanging off the back...taboo! Headers are cool and IO unit's!
    I stopped my subscription after the year was up! Some good info. on props and stuff, cool pictures!
    There is nothing like taking your boat out to a lake and beating all that's on the water:wink: Just...you and me buddy racing! I don't lose , here! There is nothing that can go over a 100mph!:frown:
    .........50-80 mph.....slow ass shit, over that " HOT-BOAT "...........( . )( . ).......
