Went to a Car Show / Swap Meet / Flea Market today, and a Model K Oliver 16 hp
and a MS-39 Johnson, sausage tank followed me home.The Oliver just says Model K, Serial 204571
The only "brown" ones I see photos of are 1959, but they say they are K5 models.
What year would mine be?The sausage tank Johnson is froze up, broke tiller, etc. I always wanted one,
but maybe in a little better condition……. it’s a good start though!
The front of the gas tank isn’t supported by anything. What’s missing?Prepare to be boarded!
July 28, 2018 at 7:41 pm #80264Not sure about the year, but that 16 horse Oliver is VERY COOL!! Nice finds, Buc!

July 28, 2018 at 8:37 pm #80265That Oliver looks a very nice little motor Buccaneer.
I have never personally seen one down here in NZ, but I do remember seeing
the odd photo of one in our local boating magazine back in the early 1960s…..
have never seen that model Johnson here either.Monte NZ

July 29, 2018 at 2:09 am #80281At the Great Lakes meet at the DOSSIN Maritime Museum today a club member? I will have to get his name, had a very nice
Reproduction casting of the rear cover for this motor that he is making. I held both parts in my hand and the only difference
That I could tell was the weight, cast verses fiberglass. I will try to get more info for you. Doug Penn also sells New Repo
Covers for this motor also.The gentleman making the very nice reproduction covers is.

July 29, 2018 at 3:38 am #80294Nice finds at the swap meet Tom. I was there today also. After spending 5 hours there I still didn’t see everything. Ended up getting a seized Lockwood Ace (minus the muffler and prop) for $8 and three Alumacraft oars.
July 29, 2018 at 12:09 pm #80307Thanks for the info. Don’t know if this one will ever being a runner,
seeing how it’s froze tight, but perhaps worthy of finding a
rear cover to use it as a "display" motor. As noted on other threads,
those compound curve tank decals could cause personal trauma!quote Fifty20ne:At the Great Lakes meet at the DOSSIN Maritime Museum today a club member? I will have to get his name, had a very nice

July 29, 2018 at 12:14 pm #80308Chad, I was at the swap by 7:15, left by 8:30 with my two motors
and $10 left in my wallet, lol.
I didn’t see the Lockwood, but did leave you a nice 2.5 hp Flambeau
on the hill. I debated whether to buy it or the Oliver.
Not sure why the Oliver won out!quote Treeguy:Nice finds at the swap meet Tom. I was there today also. After spending 5 hours there I still didn’t see everything. Ended up getting a seized Lockwood Ace (minus the muffler and prop) for $8 and three Alumacraft oars.Prepare to be boarded!
July 29, 2018 at 12:16 pm #80309Trade you the cat for a restored RBM 🙂

July 29, 2018 at 12:47 pm #80313I saw that Flambeau. Not really my cup of tea, but you don’t see them very often up here. There was a really nice "Martin 40" carrying case in the red building still.
