Some how I am less concerned about your boat, than about a swarm of (old)
2-cycle engines dripping MTBE into drinking water reservoirs. Now, if your
boat has an (old) 2-cycle engine, and if you spend a lot of time zooming
around on my drinking water, I will change my mind.

Unfortunately my ownership of the aforemention boat preceeds my interest in
kayaks by at least 6 years and as the old girl was built in 1925 doesn't
have much of a selling value so she will likely remain mine for some time to
come.
