      The Upper Canada Chapter had its Hardwater AGM yesterday. It was great to see everyone. I even came home with this very reasonably priced 1933 Johnson OA-65. It only took a little time on the workbench to get it runnin like a top.

        Great acquisition! My OA65 is one of my best running motors as well as my OA55.
        They ate very well behaved and I really like the look of the torch exhaust can.

        I went to a meet as well yesterday. The Yankee chapter had a new meet in Newburyport Mass.
        It was great to see friends and I came home with a motor as well. I got a 1922 Elto Ruddertwin with the factory Propel-o-pump kit on it.

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

                Tubs, at least they attempted to make a nice pattern. Your exhaust looks so good it’s hardly noticeable. It is a shame, though. The exhaust is the center piece of the OA-65..

                        Nice find Wayne! They are awesome little depression era motors! Built well (like everything from that era) and unique! The OA line is very cool indeed! I have passed up a couple oa-65 (I have one) and I regret doing so. Never again!

                        Enjoy it!
