    Outboard powered

    Last season I hung the Honda power thrust 60 HP on my swim step. it's used for emergencies as needed. I was pleasantly surprised that it moves my 50' wood boat at 5.5kts.

    Gen 3 is not available in Mexico yet. not sure when it will be. I am planning to buy my starlink in Mexico within the next month or so. my question is, can i later buy gen 4 hardware in the US and replace the hardware only and continue my Mexican service plan? Thanks

    Snow problems

    Yes! The DNA of boat owners have changed dramatically in the past 10 years. many don't belong there and fell into money. the only thing missing in their lives was a boat, so they got one. covid contributed to that crowed and that's where we are today. not sure it will go back anytime soon...

    Bad Deal and I need to get out of it!
