When I started this thread, I had no idea that it would turn into this deep of a discussion. I just wanted to know how to refer to my Elgin when I go to this event in St.Michael’s MD in October. There aren’t a lot of motorized boats there, but there are a couple hit or miss powered craft, as well as a couple outboards. And while there is a "contest", I’m not so inclined to enter. I just want to putt around the harbor, but I’m sure people will ask about it and I wanted to get it right.
