Here's one for $25 that's been loitering.
I don't get nervous till 5 or more H.p. And 100 bucks . Preferably with a tank if it's a dual line.
I don't have much cause to be nervous .
That and I've about enough outboards. Maybe.
A rural sale not all that far away this Fri. lists vintage outboards ; I might need to visit.

Driving home, neighbor had this sitting on the lawn.
Went and got it on the Kubota this morning.
185 lbs was a nut cracker lift.
One pull and it started right up.
Leaks fuel.
Full tank almost.

I wasn't going to get it any cheaper though.

Well I got sidetracked, nothing handy to plug in.

Got looking and unloading my truck, which led into a text message asking if I was going to be late.

Time flies when one is having fun
