Clinton Apache J8

[Quentin Moeller]

Just purchased my second J8 and will pick up this weekend. A parts motor to be sure but on the listing photo it looks like it has some sort of maybe a jet drive unit in place of the prop. Has anyone seen anything like this. I have not seen the motor live yet so I’m not sure but sure looks like it. Could it be a “treasure”?

I don’t think it will be a treasure in regards to it being “worth” a bunch,
but “oddball” or “unique”, and nice to have in a collection.

Prepare to be boarded!

Open your last Outobarder (October) to page 19, and you’ll find a 3 page article, by Peter Hunn, about the jet outboard motors.   

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

It could be a 5hp Starling Jet.  Is there supposed to be an image with your post or is that just some extra space at the bottom?  If there is an image, it is not loading for me and so I can’t see it. 🤷‍♂️

I think that if you think of it like a treasure and treat it like a treasure, then it is a treasure!
