    Last Spring, my 84 year-old buddy (now deceased) and I (age 76) took my new (to me)16 foot Alumacraft out for a trial run on the Willamette River here in Oregon. The 40 hp Nissan pushed it pretty well in fact it was down-right exciting because I had never had more than 15 hp before. Since it...
