TOPIC: Recent finds

Found a good deal this weekend- I followed up on an ad for a 1961 Evinrude Lark parts motor and ended up with that motor plus a '59 Johnson 35 HP. It was a bit of trouble, but managed to fit both motors in a Ford Focus. Maybe next time I will use a trailer:

Looks good.
Two motors, one trip.
Glad to see the seatbelts on the new "kids".

My weekends searching produced a 1977 Merc 150 6 stack. No T/T.
Also got the 65 Evinrude Speedifour running. Life is good.

Glad you had luck this weekend as well.

I have found it never hurts to follow up on old ads and ask whether the item is still for sale. And when there for pickup, ask what else they might have for sale. Lots of people looking to clean out the garage or the yard, give you a package deal, and perhaps score points with the significant other.

I hear ya.
This Merc is on a boat that was "not for sale" last year.
Now, well, you know the rest.
Follow up is very important.
