Finished my 1973 montgomery ward, sea king, clinton 5hp

The navy blue rustoleum was close as I could find, but looks good. Picked it up at a yard sale for $35.00, cleaned and set the points, new plug, adjusted the carb a little. Going to wait till the paint cures a little more then take it to the river. Runs great. Now I have my eye on a 12 hp bucaneer I hope to get for $50 or less. I think I'm catching some kinda bug.

That looks great, sounds like you have the same bug as I got. I build two saw horses that have 2x6 flats to mount my engines on.

I had 7 motors and got rid of them when I got the Bicycle bug. I should have kept them!Now I have 90 or more bikes hanging in the garage and cellar.PLUS! 4 outboards. A Johnson TD15,Champion 5,Bucaneer 5,and a Martin 75 7.5. The Martin came with a neat folding stand.
