Only 5 motors

[al-lockhart]

Only 5 hmmm well here is the list:
1913 Evinrude RBM
1914 Ferro RBM
1926 Elto Ruddertwin
19?? folding Elto
1957 Evinrude Fastwin

The question does make me think though and I would have a really hard time getting the collection below 25 motors as I see it now.

1953 Martin 200 Silver Streak

My Grandfather’s 3 hp Buccaneer, sentimental, & fond memories of it
catching on fire twice.

Evinrude Zepher that that I used to get running in the test barrel by
the garage when I was a teenager, haul it down the hill to the lake, put on the boat,
and it would not start. 🙁 It’s going to be a future project for refurbishing!

Mercury Mark 6 that my uncle gave me, still awaiting the test barrel after restore.

My current project, 4 hp Muncie Neptune OB34A…….. unless it doesn’t
run when I’m done, then it’s for sale, lol.

My late father’s 1973 Mercury 75, 7.5 hp that was on his pontoon when
I was a teenage. Hasn’t run in 30 years. Perhaps a future project.

Prepare to be boarded!

There is no way I could keep it at 5, 25 maybe, but just for fun…..in no particular order, motors that I have in our collection:.
1) 1969 Mercury 200 (I have thirteen of these 200’s, and 2 69’s. They are the best looking and fastest of this great line of motors.)
2) 1947 Mercury KE-7 (Mercury’s most important motor and I love to run ours. Fast, idles like a dream, looks fantastic!)
3) 1971 Mercury 800 (bored out this inline 4 +.030 and it is like new. I need at least one big motor for my 18′ Lund. The last year of red trim!)
4) 1960 or 56 Evinrude Lightwin. (Either one, I like the looks of the 56 better, the 60 is more powerful. Great little motor!)
5) 1952 Mercury KH-7 (Ultimate Mercury green tank, and a real transition motor for them. Look great, full gear shift.)

Our Motors that almost made the list.

6) 1955 Mercury Mk-25. (One of Mercury’s best late 50’s motors and still just as good today. We have 4 of them. They look great too!)
7) 1963 Mercury 200 (I love my 63, ran it a lot last summer. Last of the white Mercury and like the KH-7, a transition motor. Full gear shift!)
8) 1968 Mercury 110 ( We have 5 of these 110s from 62-69. Real powerhouse from 11cid. Smooth, reliable, lightweight! Great fishing motor)
9) 1958 Evinrude Fleetwin ( I paid $12 for this Fleetwin, and I love it. Just a pleasure to hear run and take it fishing.)
10) 1984 Mercury 7.5 hp Duck’s Unlimited edition. (This was my first motor that was mine. I won it at a banquet! Runs fantastic and is like new!)
