I am the same age as my 1969 Merc 1250....In fact, I have never owned a single boat motor that was younger than me...

Fly Rod, an alte kakker is the Hanukkah equivalent to Santa Claus.<br />As in this:<br />'Twas the Night Before Channukah...<br />'Twas the night before Hanukkah<br />and all over the place<br />There was noise, there was kvetching<br />Soch ah disgrace!<br /><br />The Kinderlach, sleeping,<br />uneasily felt<br />The chocolate rush<br />from the Hanukkah gelt <br />And me in the easyboy,<br />so stuffed with latkes,<br />I stretched the elastic<br />which held up my gatchkes.<br /><br />When up on the roof<br />(and it has a steep pitch)<br />A fat alte kakker<br />was making a kvitsch. <br />I jumped up real quick<br />and I ran to the door,<br />Was it a bandeet,<br />or only a schnorrer?<br /><br />"Max Klaus is my name"

Yes it does mean old fart,but SBN I sure love that song.<br />One member here is the owner of the oldest known Evinrude in the world.He lives in the thousand islands and his outboard is in a museum.(never worry ,he has a few hundred more).His username seems to imply that he walks in an oriental way,but it really has to do with a certain way a boat may move.Can you guess his name?

My smooth running Evinrude 75hp is 42 years young. The pretty little Starcraft it pushes around is 4 years younger than the engine. I am older by 5 years.

I'm older..<br /><br /> My outboard (60hp Merc) and inboard (ford 302) are both 1989 vintage.. Both motors push boats that are much older..

Just to show folks that I do visit more than one place on here, I will take a stab and say you are talking about chinewalker and I know what that is all about for sure. :eek:

Re: Who is older,you or your motor?

Yup, I am older than the boats and motors I now have. I just hope when they get to be my age they are still working as well and as hard as I am now!<br /><br />If they don't, they will be fired and replaced!
