My folks had a 1963 Flying crest 16 when I was a kid. We had a 1961 johnson 75hp on it that had replaced a 40hp Evinrude. The Evinrude could get the boat on top of the water with a load in it while on a weekend trip one time. Dad decided it was time for a change. The old "Johnson 75" would push our boat about 28mph.

I wish I still had her.
