My dad had a gas station in town, we sold CarterCraft wooden skiffs without motors, you had to go down to Western Auto and buy your own motor, and mount it yourself. No big deal, you just tightened two clamps. We had a 15 ft with a 35 Evinrude with electric start.
I thought i was the coolest kid on the river
Later i got a 13 whaler and put a 50 Evinrude on it. Probably the reason i have back issues today
Now, i find myself being built more for comfort than for speed
