Watched a video of one being launched with that same setup. He had the boat launched in half the time most people with cars do it. Amazing the control they have of those horses
The use of a gas outboard is common by the Amish in my part of the state. The rules are set by the Bishop in each district and vary not only by sect but in each individual district. In my valley you may often see a round baler equipped with a gas motor being pulled through the field by a team of mules.
Don't know if this has ever been posted before. Heck for all I remember I could have. But since it is such a good comparison video, here it is.......again?
