You are sooo right Andy, no better feeling/experience…. That poor old Fastwin looks like somebody just scooped it up from the bottom of the pond and let it dry out! I can just imagine all the disapproving looks you were getting, would have loved to see their jaws drop when the old girl fired right up, took off, never missing a beat! One thing I have learned over the years is to “never judge a book by its cover”….
These engines were OMC at its best….Such a shame they couldn’t be produced today, they would fly off the shelves and the Johnson plant in Waukegan could be rebuilt….Too bad we never appreciated these engines when we had them in our youth….. Good thing they can still be found in dumpsters and scrap piles!
