Another batch of antique outboards followed me home

[Gilligan]

Scored some nice old outboards at an estate sale....couple of them are pretty rare.

 

[Grumpy]

Gee, not a one with a rusty patina.

 

[black dog]

One of the brothers that owned Fairwinds Marina in Cape St Clair had a pretty good collection years ago.
I don't know if they are still on display in the showroom.

My buddy had the same Johnson 35 back in the 60s. It was a workhorse.

Oh and BTW... about time you replaced that cone on the end of your driveway. The old one barely had any orange left in it.

Could hire that cone-cleaner lady from Hollywood to fix it up.

So do you just mount them for display or do you now need to commission a bunch of antique styled boats to put them on?

Recently replaced by a neighbor...complete with a smiley face drawn on it.

Some I just display, and of those, some run and some don't. Some few do end up in vintage boats, although the last of those I did was an inboard..I collect those too.

That could be what wore it out.

I had flashbacks to my college days seeing that.

What do you do, cut the top, make into a big kettle?

yep..exactly that.

Turn it into a pressure cooking unit.

Turn it into a pressure cooking unit.

I've seen them turned into a distillery of sorts. Many, many uses for resourceful minds...
