Nice motor Dave,
I have a Golden Shark 40, Original controls, runs like a top. I bought mine because it had a special place from my youth. These motors never got the respect they deserved. When I was a 16 year old kid my friend had a Golden Shark 40 on a 16′ wooden boat that was beat, water logged and ugly. I had a 57 Feather craft that was beat, light weight and ugly ( they were all we could afford at 16 ) with a sweet running 57 RD Johnson 35hp. He beat me every time we raced. Not just bye a little either. Those things are fast fine running motors. And the George Jetson look is just plain cool.
