i was fishing on a pear when i seen a sail boat floating around.so after about 2 hours it floated by shore.so i looked on the side and it had 1991 stickers.this thing was old as the hills.so i got on bored and it was overflowing with trash bags.so i started moving some trash just to see down under.so after about 5 Min's i seen this all white outboard without its crown.my eyes lit up i said yeaaa got me another OMC.so i climbed down and unsecured the clamps right then my foot when through the bottom of the hull and got stuck.so im trying to pull my foot out and trying finally it pulls out.now water is poring in this thing so i am trying to grab this outboard as fast as i can and its stuck on something and water is just poring in.so finally it pops of the stand and im trying to get through all the trash but im tripping and cant really move that well through the trash and this thing was not light at all.so finally fear kicked it that this boat is going down and its really deep where it was sitting but i refuse to let this outboard go thinking it was a OMC so finally with a burst of energy i riped through all this trash and got on land.there was a nice outboard stand and a gas tank on the boat still so i jumped back on board and there both underwater so i just said forget about it.so i have the outboard on land and i look on the side and it says Montgomery wards.i was so pissed and disappointed i really wanted to see OMC.but it had no crown so i have no idea the year or HP the model number is vib52118b i think thats what it is.the ser #. is 38x273.i think thats what it says not sure tho its hard to read.thanks
