rare motor sighting

[Buccaneer]

That must be a rare outboard stand….. never seen another
one like it! It might be handy to rotate your outboard to
work on the prop!

Prepare to be boarded!

Its an engine stand like this Buccaneer. They are very easy to convert to outboard stands, I have done one myself. Makes rolling around easy.

Was just being funny about the engine stand….. have one
in the garage, just never thought of using it for outboards!

Don’s motor is model VA-50, electric start motor without gas tank type used in wooden launch.

It is a VA-50. The tank and all of the controls, including the plunger starting switch were mounted remotely. The "A" motors were used in the Aquaflyer boats as "Matched Systems". The 1930 smaller sized Aquaflyers used the smaller SA and PA motors and the VA was used in the 20′ version. I used to have a copy of the installations for the system.

Google "Johnson Aquaflyer" if you want more info.
