I saw one sweet running outboard that had the parts of 5 junk motors in it. I was greatly disappointed when he painted it all one color. I thought it was a tribute to the interchangeability of OMC models. It looked like a brand new 1957 Evinrude Fleetwin when sold and he got top dollar for it. The fisherman who bought it has gotten 6 years of hard use with no problems. Says he has been offered more than he paid for it by people having problems with newer motors. That’s why we call them classics. If properly cared for the last over 50 years. . . 😆
