		I was converted (saw the light).  After putting up with all the
Idiots on Lake Winnipesaukee (who only want to go fast, and that means 
asking the family for a bigger "play toy"), Sebago is a refreshing pause
where one can "run the river" (carefully), or enjoy some para-sailing
with Tony @ Naples (<-sp).

	I am in the process of putting a power transom on the Baja.  Not as 
easy as one might think (remember those thru-the-hull hydralic lines?).
Then comes the fun task of selecting the proper prop. ie chopper of cleaver.
A friend of mine has already been this route so it will be somewhat easier.

	One word of caution **  With the power transom up, you run extremely
close to the water pickups.  Lorin tried a 150 lower unit on his 200 but
still had to drill and design a speedometer-type pickup that mounts on the
boat.  It seems at app. 75-85 mph you start losing water pressure.  Cote'
has already shown us what that soes to a block @ 7800+ RPM's !!!!!!
