How many outboards do you own?

[nightstalker]

I thought that it would be intersting to see how many outboards many of us presently own and still use. I'm not asking what you have owned in the past. I'm asking what you have in your possession right now. I've got:
1. 1975 Evinrude 2
2. 1976 Johnson 2
3. 1977 Johnson 15
4. 1983 Johnson 9.9
5. 2001 Yamaha 115

I guess I am a piker. I only have 4 at present.
1948 Sea King 1.5
1976 Johnny 40
1986 Johnny 48SPL
1988 Johnny 60

The only one on a boat is the 48SPL

Re: How many outboards do you own?

Just 2 for me, however I am looking for a kicker right now.
I have a 1985 140hp Johnson V4 looper and a 1968 Evinrude 40hp bigtwin that is undergoing renovation. I will most likely find a suitable hull for this one when the restoration is completed.

Re: How many outboards do you own?

2!

1978 9.9/9.8 Merc 110
1997 60 Merc

Not necessarily a Merc fan, it just turned out that way!

Re: How many outboards do you own?

Hitace,
That's actually an older picture. Many of those motors have gone and others have taken their place. Among those gone is the '58 SSH. I do have a '59, though...

Re: How many outboards do you own?

Not so much an obsession, but an affliction. Treatment sometimes involves indirectly inhaling exhaust fumes, the drawing of blood - often accompanied by recitation of colorful language, occasional culling of the herd, and regular attendance at support group meetings through AOMCI. There is no cure...

Re: How many outboards do you own?

BaconBiscuit--I want to see your merc 20 with 11 hrs. on it when you get it. How about a pic of the others?
Me:

1942 2.5hp johns. HD-20 running, needs new condensors, though.
1955 7.5hp evin. -perfect
1953 10hp johns. * 2, one great, one not adj. right yet.
1955 10hp johns.--I love it.
1956 10hp johns. --love it, but needs a new skeg
1956 15hp evinrude --love it, runs great, needs paint/decals/ lower crank seal for reliablity
1957 18hp johns. *2 --love 'em, one leaks a little, prob. drain plug washers
1958 18hp evinrude--can't live without it
1976 merc. 7.5hp--like it, but won't have it long
1972 merc. 9.8hp--like it a whole lot, plan on keeping it forever
1984 merc. 25xd electric start --bought it for my dad, needs decals and l.u. work for reverse slippage, but runs great
1999 johnson 25hp-- duck hunting workhorse
Paid for but hasn't arrived yet--1954 evinrude 25hp electric start tiller (I'm very excited to see it and get it running).

I'd like a 50's 3hp one day to complete all my oldy urges and possibly an early 50's johnson 25 and I will be "finished" with my collection.
The End?
