MO?

Lily is very vocal for her age and here favorite word seems more which she pronounces "MO!" Her middle name is Moana and we joke that MO! Is here middle name.


So it ended up being a day well spent going out in the whaler last Friday instead of working on the boat. There are several larger cats here, but only 3 cats with outboards and the Maine Cat 30 is the only one similar to the Vardo engine mounting wise. The owner was washing it when I stopped by to look at the engine mounting. Turns out he had just bought new Yamaha 9.9s. As you can see, later that afternoon after a few glasses of wine his old Yamaha 8s found there way into my car! He does some charters with the boat so they are well used, but one has a newer gearbox and the other a new powerhead. With a bit of work they should be fine for a few years and will likely make themselves into one newer motor with the additional of a newer 9.9 later on. The new 9.9 is based on this vintage 8. So another problem solved.
