Vacation Barrel Test 3&4

[Tubs]

The 1938 was one of last years winter projects, and the 37 I did this year, along with the Cub and the OA-55. Hope to take them all on vacation. Plan is to be running the 2 Pals together. https://youtu.be/WNQu4OswtaQ

How low will it go?  That is fantastic work. Great running motors!

Bring your water skis to put those twin Pals to the test!
The OA-55 looks outstanding!

Prepare to be boarded!

Tubs , a ton of work went into all 3 in the video, along with the Cub. They run and look as new, bravo. That dual steering setup on the Pals was very innovative . Could you shoot a few still photos? Anxiously awaiting seeing them cruise on the lake.
I hope  the weather holds out for your Maine vacation, after working diligently on these all year.
I check the water levels daily on Lake Champlain where I go for my summer vacation, and the levels, because of all the rain are the highest in 5 years!  This makes boating difficult because of problems with dock positions, no shoreline etc. Fingers crossed it drops before July. Hopefully Maine hasn’t had the same weather pattern. I guess just to be safe you should pack that great bilge pump arrangement you made in the wooden box.

No work Bob. It was all fun for me. The weather in Maine has been lousy but I don’t think they have been getting heavy rain though. I’ll be finding out in a little over 3 weeks. Got into Three Lakes Wi. last night for a long weekend. There is a lake in front of our camp and another across the street. 42 degrees when we got up with a 10 mph+ breeze. Forecast high is 52. No boat rides today. Less wind tomorrow and a high of 65 which is just about the same as Maine when we get there. Here’s to good weather for the both of us. When I get home I post some pictures of the linkage I made for the Pals. It’s more Boathouse than innovative.

Here are the stills you asked for Bob. I could have bought a pair of heim joints 2 isles over from where I got the tubing and all thread, but that’s no fun.

Nice job Tubs!

I have 2 Handitwins that would be fun to run together. I saw a similar set-up on (3) 3hp Johnson’s at Tomahawk a few years ago.

Tub’s you may not have the tool, you certainly do have the skills!!

Thanks for sharing.
