      First time running this motor on the boat, and the boat’s
      first time in the lake this year.
      This 10 hp moved right along on my lightweight Aluma-craft.

      There wasn’t any white-caps today, but pretty windy none the
      less. Heading into the wind I started “porposing” one time.
      Not sure if trimming the motor different would have helped,
      but right after I went into a shallow bay to get out of the wind,
      and found a clump of weeds, so I limped back in sight of the
      landing before removal.

          Looks, sounds, and runs good. Looks cold!!! Around 50? The matching oars are a nice touch.   

          A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

            Tubs, I bought those popple oars over 40 years ago in the basement of
            a Ben Franklin’s store, and that’s the color they came with!
            It was around 60 degrees during the boat test, but the ice just went
            off the lake a couple of weeks ago, so that wind blowing across that
            cold water was a tad chilly.
