2112 I'm trying to look out for you here.



Delete your address you posted above. You have a nice new boat and I sure wouldn't want unscrupulous people coming around your house to take advantage of you.

I understand your thinking, but remember you have posted this info on the WWW.



World Wide Web, meaning that anyone, anywhere can now get that info. Again I was just trying to look out for you.





Another question.



How loud are these air motors? It just seems in the scheme of things trying to have a relative quiet evening that they would be even louder than a large genny.

They are kinda loud but not so loud you need to wear hearing protection. To me, one ofthe allures is the sound because its not so much the engine you are hearing but the blades ripping the air that produces the sound. The first time I ever heard one I remember thinking to myself, WTF is that but in a cool way.It sounds like a box fan, one that is real big and produces a deep, penetratingstaccato basssound. The noise is directed with the thrust of the wind so it is louder be be standing to the back or sides, when you are standing in the bow its not disturbing at all. <U>I will say that they are loud if you are behind them.</U>

I also want to add thatthey are very tolerable at idle and slow speeds and this is the operations at wich it will be used most of the night. <U>The only time it gets loud is when you</U> <U>stand on the throttle</U> to make a hard turn or to power yourself off a sand bar, etc.

I think I've heard gennys that where much more annoying.

That's pretty much what I thought. I'd have to seatrial one before I commented to buying one, but the other thing is storage for me. No way to go in a standard garage hight door.
