[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2525596, member: 12443"] The older classic boats like that are a pleasure to look at. Those used in fresh water only for sure have a longer life than those used exclusively in salt, especially the outdrive models. My first boat was a moulded plywood runabout i bought new in 1954. It had a 4 cylinder Mark 55 40 hp Mercury motor on it which was the largest outboard made at that time. About 2 years later i traded that motor for an electric start 35 horse Johnson, again the largest motor Johnson made at that time. Penyan boats were around at that time also, as were a few others like Lyman and of coarse Chris Craft and Century. Glass boats were just starting to show up in the mid 50s. One brand of small boats popular at that time was MFG. Does anybody here beside me remember Roy Rogers t v show where he had a twin outboard powered runabout about the size of the boat i had, which was 14’. Due to that show some guys i knew were hanging 2 motors on their boats as well. They had to keep them moving, otherwise water came in over the transom. lol So my question for Muddy would be, are you still using an X15 paper machine on that boat? lol [/QUOTE]
