Obviously new to this forum but I am active in a couple of motorcycle forums and also some British car forums. Holy cow there are almost 5200 pages here on just the Evinrude/Johnson motor section! Nice activity! I've been working my way through, from latest to the earlier days of the forum but have decided I won't live long enough to comprehensively read them all... My boat is the 'old' family Cadillac. A 1957 14' aluminum job that was used hard to help the whole family learn to water-ski a long time ago. My motor is the family 1962 Evinrude 40HP Lark that, in the day was asked to pull water-skiers maybe five hr's a day then in the evening, troll at idle for another two hours 'till dark,,, and repeat. Last run 17 years ago for a couple runs and before that maybe 15 yr's or more, hopefully this Cadillac-Evinrude combo will sing again this coming summer. It will not have to work as hard as in the past, but kind of like myself, a healthy semi retirement with a need to still perform.
