This thread should be renamed Memory Lane. In the 50’s my dad bought a new Johnson 5 1/2 horse outboard and he’d rent a 16’ heavy plywood boat and take me fishing in Puget Sound. Thinking back, I’m amazed that the little motor got that boat up on plane. We trolled all over while the salmon finned their noses at us - I never caught one (got one to the boat once), but one time, I caught a bunch of perch from the beach when we stopped for lunch. Great memories - thanks Charlie.
