Just got home with the next project involving wood... Grandpa's boat.
The motor is a '57 Johnson Seahorse 35 hp, an Dad says Gramps bought it
used, so the boat's a couple of years older, but I'm trying to track it
down based on the serial number.


I had a 5HP of the same vintage.

Totally bronze sleeve bearings.

Guy I bought mine from to me to mix gas/oil 25:1, NOT the 50:1 used by
todays engines.

It will smoke like hell and run forever.

Have fun.
