Dory with 3hp Acadia Engine - Calvert, Newfoundland - 1 of 4
This is a 60 year old 15' dory that came from Belloram, NL. The 3 hp Acadia engine was bought in 1945.

i would like to know how it seem to move so fast with only 3hp...snd then you whip out a 15hp outboard on a faster hull and you barely move
Got to 😍 those big beautiful banks dorys!
Nice, thumpy thumper.
Love this one . My Dad had one long time ago . Good memories. I am from Roberts Arm Nfld but live in Fredericton NB now
Is that a hit-n-miss engine?
she's flying along
Probably quite fuel efficient too?
Yes and absolutely not its really low power so it's inherently fuel efficient but really old engines weren't very efficient with modern technology they could probably get twice the power with half of the fuel in the same displacement
Great! My grandfather rowed a dory off Newfoundland!
Cant help but think a drill would be better for starting. Such a lovely boat though
Hard to beat that sound. I have some engines for sale and parts if you know anyone looking.
I'm an old Newfie trapped in New York and this really warms my heart. Thank you.
From a half Newfie, trapped in Montreal, does the same for me.
We saw quite a few boats with Lunenburg Foundry engines during our visits to Newfoundland.. Thank you for sharing!
My Grandmother told us about her Father & his Father who came here to Mobile Al. From Germany & they both Built each of them a Commercial Boat. They pulled Logs for the Cypress Mill located in Hog Bayou. In the Plateau Area. She told about the Put Put motor they had in them. = 1 Cyl. That was cranked by spining the flywheel by hand. We don't have any photos of them as this was in the late 1800s & early 1900s That motor must be a lot like them .
Fire retardant coveralls in a dory surrounded by the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean , where fer GOD Sake do you think you are ? In some oil and gas plant in Alberta ? Thems not oilskin clothes , where's your Sow Wester ? L.M.F.A.O.
I'm thinking of building an 18' dory from plans just for fishing around dartmouth and wreck trips on flat summer days
Dartmouth UK ?
Makes me think of Farley Mowatt and his "boat who wouldn't float".
Great motor......but fire the cameraman!
what a wonderful sound. This sound woke me up more than once in the cove where I lived. Thanks for sharing.
only 3hp but probably 20ft lbs of torque...lol
What a great sounding engine!
For only 3 h.p., the Ol' Girl steps right out! What kind of propeller are you running?
I have a small motorboat with a 3 Atlantic, and I have a working 3 Acadia. I have seen pictures of a haul-up shaft for the Atlantic, but the first time I saw one in a video. Thanks.
I love the sound. would like to have one.
Nice
Is it a fixed shaft or haul-up?
AtlanticAcres it's a haul up
1 lung Acadia...built to run forever.
Wow! This moves at good clip. Is that a diesel engine?
jesus no its not a diesel,diesel was unheard of in engines of that size at the time,you couldn't even buy diesel in NFLD then,but it would also burn the alcohol from St. Pierre/Miqeulin that people used to smuggle to NFLD for their bouze,when they ran out of gas they would use some of the alcohol to get home,sometimes they would run the engine with it
Nice .., A piece of history of the grand banks fishery !!!
