Bought a tub for driveway starts

The combination of shorter winter days along with the prolonged regional drought drying up all the nearby lakes has seriously cut back on the number of times I'm getting the boat out. I had to resort to bying "muffs" to hook up the hose to the engine water intake for driveway starts.

That 2 stroke V6 is a LOUD beast, especially at the 3/4 throttle necessary to get her cranked up!

I ended up buying a square plastic storage tub, filled it with water, and lowered the engine into it. I can now start and run the motor for a couple minutes without shattering my neighbor's windows. I consider that a good thing.
