No thank you Dale. I’m really more interested
in Pre WW-II motors. Use to be a lot of
discussion about “Super 10’s”. I bought one
out of curiosity not knowing anything about
the different models. Some say they are hard
to work on but I don’t think they are. You do
need to have, or make a tool to do some
repairs. First time I fired it up it
was clear what all the bragging was about.
Ran it a bunch most of the summer and
then gave it to a friend. The Hurricane gets
a lot of interest so the Lightning can be
found as cheap as free. I’ve been told
that mechanically the only difference
is 8 reads instead of 4 and a slightly larger
carburetor. This one looked to be being
storied out outside but the gas in the tank
didn’t smell bad. I probably would have still
passed on this one except for this option.
There was an article about these in a resent
Outboarder. I don’t know how hard they are
to come by but the few I have seen sell went
for as much as he was asking for the motor.
Almost done. Plan is to use it this summer.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
