I have finally bitten off more than I can chew!

Yesterday I picked up a SpeediTwin and a SpeediFour. I finally got them manhandled out of my van, and cleaned up a bit and on the rack in the cellar.

These things are Monsters! I will not be moving them around much, that I can tell you! Not in any hurry to get these going, as Winter is just around the corner. The Four is complete as far as I can tell. No broken parts, tec.

The Twin has a missing Spark advance lever, broken twist grip, and some issues with the lower unit.

But for $50 for the pair, no complaints. Have a look.

I’m glad I didn’t see them. My back isn’t in the best condition and they wouldn’t help it. I couldn’t have passed them up either!

I have a battery powered hoist I would be using on them. It rolls around my shop. I use a sling with a big ring and two belts. Works really well on the Big 4. Wish I had a SpeediTwin and SpeediFour! 😐 😐

David Bartlett, I think you made a heck of a deal for $50 bucks. Can’t wait to hear you start them up and post a video of those monsters!!!

[Mumbles]

That has to be the deal of the month, or year!

You better start eating lots of spinach if you’re going to be packing those heavyweights around!

Fantastic

[outboardnut]

i think that is called stealing

Awesome deal there. I bet it wouldn’t take much to get those running either

This was one of those right place, right time moments that happen now and then. I got lucky. The guy who had them is a master tech outboard mechanic who got them where he worked a couple years ago when they were set to be scrapped. He just figured someone else should do the rest!

I will slowly get to these during the cold weather and will post updates as it happens and questions occur.

Thanks all for the kind words and future support!
