Well guys, I just spoke with a guy who works on classic and newer outboards in Horicon Wisconsin. His name is Russ Teletzke. He said he has a ton of old motors in a pile on his property, and if anyone is interested in old parts, they can contact him. Let me know and I’ll give you his phone number.
He also spoke to me at length about what I wanted out of owning a boat, and they type of motor this one comes with. Knowing I want basically plug n play, he advised I look for a boat with a longer transom that could take a newer, more dependable rebuilt.
So I’m on the hunt again, and will be looking around for a small speedboat to tool around on the lake. For those who are interested, here is the listing of the one I am passing up: http://www.antiqueboatamerica.com/Boat/15_Feet_1961_Duracraft_Aluminum_42063
I am more interested in tooling around the lake than tooling around a motor at this juncture so that’s what I am going to prioritize.
