[Rhodes22-list] Outboard engines

[Bill Effros]

Nick,

I have a 20" and I like it.  It comes all the way out of the water when 
I don't need it, and is deep enough in the water most of the time.  
There are times I would like to have a 25" but not enough times to 
justify the extra hassle and cost.  In those times you are probably 
better off sailing, anyhow.
