What gives with helping people with a problem ?????????????

Some posters, come here looking for validation for their unsafe practice and run after being told that they're being unsafe.

Examples (exaggerated but not by much) like: Can my Mini tow a 24ft pontoon boat as I bought the bigger engine in the Mini? I saw a guy on YouTube doing it so its fine right?

Or my boat is rated for a 30HP engine and I got this screaming deal from my neighbor for a 100HP Envirude which my neighbor said would work just fine....right? What if I only run it at 1/4 throttle and promise never to gun it?

I usually try to take the time to document what the issue was.... my last problem was the boat would idle fine, but no power, and wouldnt plane out... I had grand illusions of cubic dollars being spent to fix the damn thing, when it ended up being a pair of crossed plug wires..... yeah, I installed them, and I owned up to it...... Still havent gotten it to the lake for a water test yet, had too much other stuff going on, and the wife wants to BOAT, not test, so we take the other one for the time being (yep, we got two, one is getting sold probably beginning of next season, once the "other one" is finished, then its time for a new project boat to arrive......)
