There more on the other side of that shed, and maybe 6 more various 15hp and under in my lean-to shed off the tub deck. Of course nothing compared to guys like Scott (Chinewalker)who has a WALL thats unbelievable. You can see the green 52-54 Johnny 3hp in that pic (72 2 Rude one side, 84 4hp Johnny other). That little pup is a gem...idles so smooth...those small twins were the best motors made. Great inland lake motors. Won't get ya there fast, but will get ya there! Here in Puget Sound, theres a place called Toms Outboards in Olympia. I was in there yesterday. Has been there for decades. He has probably 100 motors outside, blocks, cowlings, and the inside is just a damn museum. There are motors in the shop (barely a path through it) EVERWHERE. Ya think ya seen it all, but look up, and you see more and more. Amazing. Next time I go in there, maybe Ill get a pic....<br />Me, and my little collection gets a good push from Craigslist. That 3hp mentioned here I got for $25 (no spark one plug), and with it was a 53 Tn28 5hp Johnson, with no spark. Also $25. Some people just don't know what they have, and just about give it away, Some I get running, others part out and Ebay.....keeps me sane in a insane world.
