I was in a marine dealer picking up some parts for a little 15hp Evinrude. On the way out I started looking around at the boats. MY GOSH!!! Some of these outboards are HUGE. I think one was a Johnson V-6, must have been at least a 250hp. It was huge. not something you'd pull out and run in a trash can in your driveway. Funny thing is in pictures they all the same.<br /><br />Rob

I saw a guy who took a hood for one of those V8 Johnrudes, duct taped the vent holes, flipped it upside down and made a boat out of it for his kids to play in at the beach!<br />- Scott
