Swiss Army Knife . . .

[QC]

. . . I mean Outboard. I thought some of you might get a kick out of this. Maybe if you push the right button it turns into a boat? I found it on eBay this AM:

"This was purchased by the Swiss Army and maintained perfectly so it was ready for action at anytime. The Swiss no longer allow 2 strokes so they had to sell them. I bought a few. It comes with 3 stainless propellers and a great stand.It is in great condition and is ready to go. The Swiss Army kept this in perfect condition"

Seems to me that it would be a great buy just to get that stand/transporter. Gotta go see that.

Looks like an older (1980s) standard issue Johnrude 55hp with the pull start on top and a tiller...

Actually its a swiss army commandos backpack outboard, all that webbing is where it clips on,he wears water skies and of he goes, the different props are for the fatties and skinnies of the Swiss army so one motor fits all.

its a tiller. they sell them here locally in clearwater florida all the time. smalloutboards dot com is the site. some of them even have drains so they can be launched from subs underwtare and then drained at the surface for sneak attacks. I WANT ONE OF THOSE!

Re: Swiss Army Knife . . .

Yeah, and upon further review most of the "weird handles" are attached to the stand/transporter thing. With that said, what is that mallet looking, horizontal handle on the starboard side? Maybe it's a shifter or something common, but I don't recall seeing one of those before . . . Maybe a quickee transom clamp?

Go easy on me I am a hopefully someday, completely reformed, I/O kinda guy.
