Go Green Retrieve Boat
By Dave Bestpitch
NAMBA District 9
NAMBA District 9 is proud to
announce that they have become ECO
friendly.
The retrieve boats used at all District
9 race sites will be using the propane
power outboard built by LEHR. These
engines have the power of a four stroke
with the convenience of using a propane
cylinder rather than being powered by
gasoline. No mess no fuss. Check out
their web site www.golehr.com for more
information.
We have the five horsepower version
which works very well for our needs. If
you have a race site that does not allow
two cycle outboard motors, inquire if
this ECO friendly version would be
allowed.
A good selling feature is that this
technology has received the "Clean Air
Excellence Award" from the federal
government.
