Atomic A4s are fairly reliable, and the whole "gasoline engine=floating bomb" is pretty much BS IMHO.

Most of the boat explosion cases due to gasoline as a fuel have had a fairly large USER ERROR human component from what I've seen. Common sense and using your built-in Mark I gasoline fume detector go a long, long way to preventing problems.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
