quote Tubs:
The old stuff has character and history. Sometimes I think it’s kind of fun to just imagine how happy some guy (or gal) was when they walked out of the dealership 50, 60, or 70 years ago with their new outboard. I can imagine how upset they got when it got its first scratch. I can imagine too how many really awesome fishing trips these old motors went on in their lifetimes. These old outboards are pieces of history and a look back at a much simpler time. Imagine what they would tell us if they could talk…or have I gone off the deep end? HAHA
There is one thing you don’t have to imagine.
When you running a 50, 60, 70, or 90+ year
old motor your experiencing exactly what the
original owner did the first time and every time
he ran it. Its as close to going back in time as
you can get.
Very, very true. Well put, Tubs.
