Re: Trailering boat with motor or not?

To frank’s point…I’m pretty sure the old vessels were made WELL before computers were used to calculate physical limitations of various materials and things were engineered to be used and abused AND last. I.E., mid 50’s motors use springs instead of rubber as motor mounts.

There’s a reason whey they are still kicking around, they were over engineered because people (I surmise) weren’t skimping on materials to just ‘get by’ during production. They were way more beefier than needed due to the lack of general tolerance calculations, not due to lack of craftsmanship. I could be wrong though?

Still interesting to think that an iPhone has thousands X more power than the worlds supercomputer of the 1960’s.
