Great stories.
I had a little 2 HP evinrude... it went on an 11 foot jon boat that I used on a lake in MASS.
I still have the motor... but haven't tried to run it in about 15 years or more... who knows, maybe it would work?
I still have the jon boat too... but whenever I'm in MA, I usually borrow a neighbor's canoe instead.
I've had that motor and boat since I was about 12. My cousin and I would spend all day and half the evening drifting and moving around on the lake, fishing. Sun fish, crappie, white perch.
It was a peaceful time, and a good childhood / upbringing.
Nothing to work about. Get up. Eat some cereal and a muffin, and go fishing for the whole day.
Thanks for sharing your memories, Charlie. It's nice that you still get out and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the water.
