This will push her along....85 hp Johnson

She's maxed out RATED @ 70 HP so I think the 85 might be a bit much, but again thanks for looking out for me.

WOG the max HP tag is in 1961 terms. I mean with inflation, technicalogical globalization, and the interweb the Flamingo should easily handle a 85horse Jonsoon. :joyous:

You may have to install a pad on it. That's some technical lingo I learned here on the forum!!! :laugh:

I Like Tim but Here in Oklahoma, the Insurance guys kinda frown on Over Powered boats. Been several cases in the news where guys found out the hard way that they weren't covered due to that fact. I think I'll stay within the accepted standards. I may be a Dumb Okie but NOT a Stupid One!!!!!:lol: Well, the Admiral might argue that point!!!!:facepalm:

The Blue Flamingo is wearing her winter clothes so I've been concentrating on some wood working. Thought you might like to see some of it. Latest project is a Solid Oak Worktable for my neighbors shop, made from local Oak trees harvested 2 years ago, milled by a local mill and air dried in his garage for the past 2 years. I planed it down and created this...

Made this Painted Adirondack Chair for my Bosses Husbands Birthday present. He likes vodka gimlets and Cigars!!!...

A wine gift box for my Son In Laws Birthday. Scraps laying around the shop...

A Memorial Flag Box for a WWII vet. 21- 30 cal. bullet casings from the 21 gun salute embedded into the bottom rail of the box.

And finally a Matching Dresser for my Grandsons Bed that I posted earlier. This was mad from pallets and crates I got from the Port of Catoosa which connects Tulsa to the Missiissippi River and the Gulf.

Hopefully this is not boring you since it's not about boats!!!!! If so, I'll have a MOD remove it!!!

Have a great weekend!!!
