I've always wondered why folks will spend so much money to burn all
that fuel to run very large engines on a boat when the things are just
so darned slow and limited to movement in two dimensions. Maybe it's
so they can make a great deal of noise, erode shorelines with their
wake, leak gasoline and oil into the water and upset as many people as
possible who are simply out to have a nice day on a lake in their boats
and airplanes that have far smaller engines. .
Or are large engines on a boat an attempt to compensate for some sort
of physical shortcoming? It's one of those Freudian questions that
keep occurring when you hear loud boaters exercising their perceived
legal rights to create large wakes and offend as many people as humanly
possible.
It's sad that so many of those noisy, big engine boaters seem to have
day jobs at Burger King. Perhaps that accounts for their overt
hostility to other recreational users of lakes and generally whiny
natures.
A person just can't help but wonder and stay out of the way of nutballs
in big, loud boats that create big wakes while moving slowly.
