I let my BIL drive the houseboat

[Fiveflat]

Good thing you have the big engine Five!

It still made me nervous to tow that big houseboat. I just cruised at about 1000-1200 RPM and 4.0MPH. (took about 90minutes )

How fast does the house boat go if it was working?

[skippabcool]

I recall going to Powell when I was in 8th grade and it seemed like it was very slow.

swooped in for another tpp

How fast does the house boat go if it was working?

Throttle has a governor on it, top RPM is 3000. If I'm not towing a boat and cruising at 3k, it's going about 8-10mph.

It's still running just fine. In fact, once I got it close to my slip last night, I went ahead and fired it up and drove it into the slip. Just let the manifold blow water down into the bilge for 1-2 minutes while I maneuvered the 'ol Upstream.

discussion on WW about that swamped Bu.

I was curious about the scenario as well...

[skippabcool]

What do foreigners do after they have run with the bulls and are bored?

Send their kids to do this:

Idiots. And the guy laughing and smiling at the end

"Gee - that's funny! We almost got our kids trampled by an ornery half-ton beast! Haha!"

Half-ton? Guess again... That beast is likely well over 1-ton.

ok ok, I was probably wrong on the weight, unless it was a young-un. From wikipedia: Typical weight can range from 318 to 1,000 kg (700 to 2,200 lb). The heaviest wild bull ever recorded weighed 1,270 kg (2,800 lb). When raised in captivity and farmed for meat, the bison can grow unnaturally heavy and the largest semi-domestic bison weighed 1,724 kg (3,800 lb).
