Re: Which Outboard Engine Brand do you own?
1995 Evinrude 90 Looper- Purchased November of 2009. My new main ride. Awesome motor.
1976 Johnson 85hp - My main ride - purrs like a kitten. Edit: Sold May of 2010
1956 Johnson 30hp - Fixed up a few years back - runs great. Plan full restore one of these years.
1965 Evinrude 9.5 - Bought as a youngster in '85. It was a mess (exhaust leaks/poor compression). Cut my outboard teeth getting it running right.
1968 Johnson 6hp - Got the outboard bug again and bought it last week for $120. Just got done going over carbs, ignition and water pump. Going to fire it up this weekend. I'm thinking two pulls max.
1949 2.5hp - Picked up a few years ago. Runs but not terribly well - has issues. One of these days I'll feel motivated to get this one sorted out.
Had a few other Johnsons and Evinrudes in my past and one Force.
