EVINRUDE outboard motor commercial

[cuznjohn]

so i just saw this on facebook, and one of the statements they made is not true. stupid little things like this bother me so either i have way too much time on my hands, or i have become a grouchy old fart. i am really curious to see if you can find the mistake

 

[vided]

has my key fob verifies i'm an old fart (grouchy )
but i missed the lie :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

27.6% more fuel; not 30%
(40/145...)

 

[cuznjohn]

nope, it has to do with the boats

 

[Chupaca]

Nice ride....

Outside of the trim and anchor I don't see the difference on the boats...:dontknow: soooo....not identical...:lecturef_smilie:

 

[Sam Mac]

I could be wrong but I think the Rudy boat has trim tabs.

 

[Dan McNally]

The boats are not identical - for example, the flying bridge on the one with the Evinrude engines is larger and wider than the one with the Evinrude engines. Drag in the air at speed can account for a loss in miles per gallon.

However, if you listen, carefully - nowhere do they say the boats are identical - so if there are lies, they are lies by omission.

Sorry but

​I'm not really a boat sortta guy so I would not know a boat lie if it came up and bit me in the poop deck.

 

[Chupaca]

Ahhhh....

I beg to differ...they say at the start " two identical 32 foot center consol boats" still 32 gallons is a lot of difference...:yikes:

 

[vided]

Neither boat has a fly bridge.
And at the beginning of the spot it is stated they are identical boats,although no 2 boats are ever identical.

 

[Bob Denman]

Okay; the Yammi-Boat has twin antennas
Does that patch of gray at the front of the "bridge" on the Evi-Boat look like a screen?

Aero-drag could make up the differences.

 

[cuznjohn]

wow you people spotted more then i did, the thing i spotted was the bow anchor on one boat, and none on the other

 

[vided]

That's why no 2 boats are ever identical :yes::yes::yes:

 

[PW2013STL]

I saw the anchor , but since that was on the Evinrude boat I did not discount it from their clam.
They also stated almost 30% so they were covered with that.

The true test would have been if they had weighed the two boats with crew on board to ensure that they were identical.

 

[mowin]

I have little faith in head to head tests.

I'm no boat expert, but if the yammie powered boat didn't have his trim set in the sweet spot, he would need more RPM's to go the same speed as the other boat. Thus using more fuel.

There's too many variables to insure a accurate and fair comparison.

You are correct - I missed that - the boats are not identical

If they don't have a flybridge, then what is the correct term of art for the duplicate set of controls above the main set? They both have them, and one is bigger than the other, and, as I said, will cause additional drag.

they would be referred to as a tower.
but, if you like the term flybridge, it's a fly bridge :yes::yes::thumbup::thumbup:
