Reply To: New Antique Outboard Owner

[frankr]

I’d hate to make a judgement on the three. All are worthy in their own right. However, I have a special fondness for the Martin since my Dad had one when I was a kid and we had many good times with it. Also, the first real full time job I had was working for a Martin dealer shortly after they quit making them. The first motor I ever owned was also a Martin 60 that was given to me after the owner lost it overboard in salt water.

I guess you have heard stories about Martins catching fire because of slopping gas out of the gas cap. Larson has new gas cap seals.
