Yeah I remember those days too …you left out the bit where you died of silicosis , asbestosis , lung cancer , random types of cancer or a combo of 1 or two of the above . K3409 and Carpe Diem are missing from that picture . Need a couple of blue hats with tablets peering into the hole

They should be declared an invasive pest and a significant eradication programme should be commenced with urgency.

Using a tennis court as a standard unit of measure feels like a very Parnel thing...

I remember this one caused a stir because they filmed themselves “riding” the shark as they towed it to shore . https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/waiheke-shark-may-have-been-record-great-white/B7AZPKOIOSEIQXHFDNZHC4WBKQ/ I used to regularly surf not far from tipitai on the north head and we used to sh*t ourselves to be honest . Most of the northern harbours and inlets on the East and West Coast are nursery areas for GWs .

Yes the same concerns I have. I'd love to go the lighter weight of the 2 stroke, but the low running noise, lack of smell and fuel economy (in terms of range, not cost) are very appealing. Ratings for Rise & Fall brackets (for both 2 and 4 stroke motors) – standard shaft, up to 25hp (18kw), long shaft up to 20hp. Maximum motor weight of 58kg. So 10 Hp and 39 kg's would seem to be well within, decisions/decisions!

I didn't, but do now, thank you for the reminder. That will be huge peace of mind in the event of trouble.
