      I’m going to take a look at an old Waterwitch tomorrow afternoon, one of the singles with the spaceship looking tanks. Is there anything I should look out for? I don’t know very much about these and I’ve never even seen one in person.

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

          Just picked it up toaday and it’s in really good shape! Good compression and it should have spark once I clean up the ignition system. What fuel mix should I use to run it? I’m gonna try and post some pictures later.

              Thanks, the reason I ask about the mix is because the decal that says it is pretty much nonexistent. What’s the best way to post pictures? I tried a couple times and it didn’t work. The motor looks good though! The paint is peeling and it’s a little worn, but it’s complete and nothing is broken. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but it’s a model 571-44, I think a 3/4 hp about 1938

                        Thanks for posting those Tubs. I think on the next nice day I’m gonna fill it up with gas and try it out!
