It's a blast isn't it

the CE plate on my camel boat says i can only put 130 horses on the back, a 200 etec!....... i can picture my transom and posh engine shooting off over the horizon leaving me sinking with the rest of the boat .........

will she take it? do i need to start saving my beer tokens?
