Re: Short Boating Movie
That could have been me all the way through...
My first motor was a 1933 Johnson A-65 4.1hp, much like the first outboard in the vid. My Dad gave it to me when I was 9.
My second motor was a 1955 Evinrude Aquasonic 7.5hp, nearly identical to the Johnson 7.5 in the vid. My Dad and I rebuilt it together when I was about 12.
I proposed to my wife in our family's 1936 twin cockpit inboard runabout, much like the one in the video. Boat has been in our family since 1946.
Definitely brought a tear to my eye...
