Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

We have used a 5 HP Nissan since we bought the boat several years ago. As long as you don't gun it in reverse you should not have a problem. Ours does not have the terrible vibration you speak of. There is some, though. The tape idea sound like it may be worth trying. The weight of the 2 stroke is much nicer. I am not looking forward to having to replace it with the 4 stroke.
