[bolger] Re: the best day of the winter
Clyde,
I have always owned Johnsons up to this point due to the fact that
the marina operator at the head of my harbor was a Johnson dealer. Now
that I am going with more portable boating, I have heard that the
yamahas are quite reliable and that there is a network of dealers
nationwide and abroad for support. Water pumps are a bi-annual expense
and it is relatively easy to take care of. Plugs and filters are the
other items that should be an annual expense. I am thinking that a
3.5hp yamaha longshaft will propel Micro nicely. I like an external
fuel tank as it extends range, and also makes the motor easier to store
without the extra fuel spilling around.
Good luck with your quest for a motor. Look at who will do the
servicing, then price out those models and you should be fine.

I'd sure be interested in knowing more about the Yamahas as I'm getting
ready to buy one. Clyde Wisner

oops, hit something strange on this laptop and posted prior to
completion.
I am obviously exctatic with a good day of non-building as various
pieces are coming into place. I would like to hear from other members
of the group as to what they consider their best day of winter
boatbuilding!

Here is a few thoughts on being snowbound in VT.
1. I found a friend with an arc welder today, the Micro will actually
have a trailer.
2. Another fellow snowmobiler is a yamaha dealer who has a great deal
on long shaft 20" outboards.
