    Mercury 450R on a pontoon boat.

    Don't know the story but saw this one today while fishing. The lake is about 1.5 miles long. Seems a little overpowered for a small lake.

    I can prop my boat to only run 50 mph... Who says he has 450 hp for speed? Maybe he shuttles a full load with a couple tubes behind? Maybe he has a second home on a huge lake?

    I'd hang 2 450s on my boat if I was his next door neighbor.

    I would, but they have the stupid road closed. I’m over on Hardistry Street street again.

    This has been nice. Coming home and able to stop in the middle of the road to back the boat it. Takes me a minute to get to the boat launch. 20 minutes to get to where you are on Hardisty. My sister lives over that way.
