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!!

I've had a barrowed, 8 HP Mercury (90#) hung on the back during a 2 day coastal run, but I wouldn't do it again. In a seaway, there'd be almost no way to take it off the mount, if there was a problem with it. But if the wind dies, you sure can make some tracks!

:: What is the biggest motor that has been used on the
:: aluminum insert style motor mount for the express 27? I
:: am curious about the weight factor.
