Tell her you're going to run twin 3hp motors on your boat instead of buying a single 6hp motor to take their place.

Not twins tell her your running triples for improved performance and extra insurance in case you run into problems on the water :D

Hi I'm in the same boat so to speak, I would like a collection of them, as you see I'm in Australia so not as many. I just missed out on a JW-13 the other week.
