Re: Looking for project motor

[David Stanton]

Steve – For project motors, Put out the word to friends and neighbors that you are into the old outboard hobby and motors may come your way. Before the 1960s, few people owned boats, but lots of people had motors and you could rent a boat on most lakes and use your own motor. Every year, I get people who say Dad’s (or Grandpa’s) old motor is sitting in my garage – just get it out of here before I toss it out! I get about five/year that way.

If I recognize a motor that has some $$ value, I tell them and make them an offer that is usually turned down (they say just take the thing) – then I make sure a case of beer gets to them.
Good Luck!
Dave
