    I chanced on this website about a professional fisherman and his 35 year "partnership" with one boat.....and 29 pairs of outboards ! I can relate to this having owned a couple of examples of this vessel over the years, but you do wonder if he has beaten the odds by still being around to tell the story. But if there is a better 18 foot power boat in the world, I would like to meet it !

    Another interesting read are the spooky tales of giant sharks encountered in many years as a fisherman.........
