Just sounded neat!! <br /><br />Man, the weather here is finally turning the corner. I worked on my new, old, console in the sun yesterday and got sweaty. Storm's comin' so better not boat today. Sorry about you guys up north. Life on the Suncoast is sweet

1983 15 Evinrude<br />Had Evinrudes/Johnsons all my life except for a Merc that came with the boat. Nothing but trouble, froze up a couple of years after I had it. <br /><br />The Rude, great motor!!! On a sailboat, about 30 hours per year, not trouble.
Re: How many Outboards do you own ANY ONE ELSE!!!!
1989 Force 50 on 15ft Bayliner Capri 1957 Evinrude 5.5hp Fisherman (finally got the gearcase sealed - it was the shift shaft o-ring- Runs GREAT) l967 Evinrude 3hp folding shaft Yachtwin 2000 Yamaha 2hp (slightly modified) 3hp Tanaka air cooled Little motors are for my 12ft aluminum boat and for tinker purposes. Would like to get a 5hp Tohatsu/Nissan/Mercury/etc. as the old Fisherman with it's 5gal pressure tank is HEAVY. But when I look at the cost of new motors, will stick with the old ones for now. Lots of fancy boats down here on Lake Havasu - saw one today with 3 300hp Mercs on it. How do you get 3 big OB's to run in sync? Love this thread & love playing with my 2 boats.
