    Prop rock guard

    Please verify my prop selection.

    I have a 1972 6-hp Evinrude Fisherman and I want to replace the prop from a 2 blade to a 3 blade. I think the stock prop is a 2 blade 8x7-1/4.

    ward 7.5

    A good buddy of mine has a MW sea king 7.5 that he is willing to sell to me fairly cheap. I don't know the year but he said it is late 70's. It runs good but needs an impeller. Getting the impeller is not a problem for me but my question is...I notice on a lot of pictures of this type of motor...

    Fishpoop's 1955 Feathercraft Skipper Resto

    Here it is...I'll keep posting more as we go. It's a 1955 Feathercraft Skipper (13'). I bought it in 1993 at a public auction for $50. It was a college graduation present to myself. At the time it floated and got me to my fishing holes which is all I cared about. Unfortunately in 1999 I...
