@OutboardMotorFun outstanding..I like it up there, Iam a professional mariner some times we use the shipyard in Anacortes for winter maintenance great area.
You found another 5 1/2. Hey, I have a chance rite now to buy a 3 hp Johnson 1957 just like your red one. The guy said it needs points. That's what he said, as long as it has good compression I can get it running. Mainly i what it for a wall hanger. He wants $350.00. I don't know, I would prefer to have a small 1957 evinrude like the ones you had, that why I asked if you still had them, I asked you about a month back or so.. Can't believe you sold them.
@@TJD656 All these OMC parts are cheap on eBay. Me personally wouldn’t spend more then $100 on a working one, but if it’s nice and original just have fun if you can afford it
@islandtoybox it's on craiglist, not to far from my house. But, I don't know, not the one I really want. It's a clean motor, like if someone had it in the closet it's life. I'll probably hold off for a 5 1/2 - 57 evinrude. The reasoning, my dad had a 35 hp. 1957 had some good times. Man you get the deals, we don't have to many around here because of the heavy salt water. They corrode if you don't take care of them.
Awesome Thanks for making this video. I love these old motors. I just finished up a 54 Johnson 10hp and now working on a 56 Johnson 7.5 hp. They are amazing motors. Beautiful sounds
Stop before the addiction starts….its a great hobby especially when you can save a throwaway motor from the scrap pile. To me it’s rewarding to practically gift it to someone in need or who wants to learn about these engines.
Awesome video. Looks gorgeous up there
@@Gnarz1234 I am vest lucky to live in this area of the world. Glad you liked it!
What a fun video. Thanks
Your welcome!
Listen to them "roar"! Yeah buddy!
Better in person. Nice harmonics to them.
Nice water out there! I have 3 identical but older trolling motors I want to try out on my 12ft aluminum. I will try it on fresh water though.
@@kevingordon1312 As we get older, a nice sunny calm cold day has to be enjoyed even in winter. I alway try to have fun. Get those engines out ASAP!
Looks like a lot good fun, I live on the Olympic Peninsula looks like this isint to far away.
