Thats what you sailors call motorboats?

I like that, reason being its true those motors can and do have strong smells, especially the old ones!

At least with a sailboat, you motor that bad boy out, once you hoist those sails, you don't have to hear or smell ANYTHING anymore. All you hear are the sounds of the sea and the wind blowing. Same reasons I love kayaking so much. I remember many times when we were running in the motorboats, we could not even hear each other talking without screaming. Then not to mention if I am caught in a storm, I would much rather be in a large sailboat, way more sea worthy.
