Some may not realize, that the cap on top of Reelwork's Merc is not for oil. It's actually the opening to the Mr. Fusion
You weren't supposed to tell anyone about my super secret blue flame propulsion system mated to a flux capacitor dumping into a cataclysmic converter..

Nice pictures all. Them twins make a nice wake. I get to see Erie flat like that about twice a year if Im lucky. When it is I take advantage and run all the way to the fence and troll back in.
Not trying to start a situation, but that tow in the 2nd pic is a no-no ( mercy wake). Should have made a bridal off the transom eyes. You could pull out a cleat, even if it is back plated, with the other end to his bow eye.
I was thinking the same thing about towing from the cleat. They are using the cleat on that express cruiser as well. Sure makes it a lot easier to steer using a bridal as well, as demonstrated by the postion of the motors in that pic.
I towed a Bayliner Capri (no joke) a couple of years ago. The bow eye on it was right at the waterline. I had to jump overboard to make my tow line fast. It was summer so I didn't mind, but if the water was cold I don't think I could have reached the bow eye. The cleats on that boat would not have even accepted my dock lines.
When towing I ask for the towee's anchorline (lots of it) and tie a bowline in it, then use a dockline of mine to run through the bowline and tie off to both pad eyes on my transom.
