TOPIC: 70 year old motor to the rescue

Took the boat out yesterday and got out in the middle of the lake and my 1959 40hp Elgin quit. So fired up the 1940 1 1/2 hp Evinrude and trolled for 3 1/2 hour on it. Hey that little old motor got us up to 3mph. Now thats pushing 700lbs plus. Not bad for motor as old as I am. Just love these old motors . It got us back to the dock and thats all that counts

Nicely done! Never a bad idea to have a get-me-home motor tucked away somewhere... I carry one early and late season in the tinny when calling for help isn't an option...
