TOPIC: Hear her run

Hear her run 13 years 6 months ago #28618

Been working on this motor off and in for a week. And took the boat out yesterday for a test run.
The motor is a 1959 Elgin 40hp and the boat is a 1957 EnduraCraft. Here is some vidio of the run yesterday turn the sound up.

She sounds great. I noticed that you also brought along the little old kicker "just in case". I myself never leave the dock on a test run with my old projects without the Minn Kota

The kicker is a 1940 Evinrude 1 1/2 hp and she perrs like a kitten. Now if anybody wanted to go sking it was just 40 when we got out to the lake.
If you noticed in the picture the guy sitting down He's just a little guy Ron 6'4 325lbs The guy standing is carl Im up the ramp taking the pic. They had the dock just a little high about 5 feet off the water.

Is that a West Bend made motor or a Scott/McCullock?
