STMarine,<br /> I'm in the 1000 Islands - St. Lawrence River area of Northern New York State. Lots of goodies up here! The munchkin is just starting to show an interest in motors and such. He has "his" 1954 Johnson CD-11 5.5hp that he can start by himself.<br />- Scott

Now: 200 Ocean Johnson; 9.9 4s Yamaha<br />Had: 15 hp Honda; 10 hp Johnson; 45 hp Merc; year unknown 2.5 (?) Johnson (had doughnut fuel tank, rope start on top); 50 hp Johnson.<br />All were good engines except the Merc: loved the 4 little cylinders whirring away until they stopped all too often.....

Re: How many Outboards do you own ANY ONE ELSE!!!!

ST (thread originator) isn't kidding. He bought a 65 Merc triple I had; shows up with the girlfriend, tosses it in the back of a late-model Saab & takes off all within 90 seconds. We may have to take up a collection for this young man's psychological treatment, if she doesn't toss him over a transom somewhere first. (Only kidding, Tougas - couldn't resist).<br /><br />1996 Evinrude 112 SPL (one scored cylinder)<br />1992 Evinrude 115 (VRO failure, pretty sure)<br />1980 Johnson 100 with L&S nosecone (why bother?)<br />1979 Evinrude 85 (99 inch, simple, GREAT motor)<br />1978 Merc 500 (coming out very nicely)<br />1975 Johnson 115 (currently on a 14'9" Larson; has a temp Maine sticker, no numbers, Mass enviromental police just waved when they went by!?)<br />1974 Evinrude 115<br />1974 Mercury 500<br />1971 Evinrude 125 'victim' (already had 2 melted piston tops, so I put a 17" prop on this, set the timing back 5 degrees & let my nephews have at it)<br />1969 Johnson 115 1<br />1969 Johnson 115 2<br />1967 Merc 500<br />1964 Johnson 9.5<br /><br />Motors I'd like to get: KH7, 1962 Merc 100, modified OMC V6 looper, 2 year-old 9.9.

1956 Scott Atwater 3.2<br />1971 Chrysler 12.9<br />1973 Evinrude Fisherman 6.0<br />1988 Force 85 <br />They are all still great motors. I have never had an ounce of trouble with the Force. It's all in how well you maintain a motor. I had a '79 Mercury 8hp and it was the most high maintenance and tempermental motor I ever ran. I would buy any good Evinrude, Chrysler, Force, Johnson or Mercury motor that suited my needs.
