One thing though... If I were you, I would put my name in the corner of those pictures.

I once heard a story that for YEARS someone claimed to be building an RV-7 and they were simply stealing somebody else's pictures off their website!!!

Imagine the audacity!

:o CJ

What exactly is there to gain? :?
Well said, Ian! Well said...

Nice project Brian. Some how I think you need to change the seat covers. I am not so sure a Chrysler Outboard is high style but on the other hand someday soon they may be a collector's item.

Bob, that is an old Evinrude. Sa-weeeet!

I see how you would think it's a Chrysler. It does look like one.

Brian, Sorry I didn't correctly identify the Ouboard. I have owned a 14.5HP 1952 Evernude, a 1978 15 HP Johnson, 1981 15 HP Johnson, a 1985 15HP johnson, a 1989 40HP Johnson and now have a 2005 20 HP Honda. The vintage of your Evenude is in between my experiences. It should be a good engine. I am still working on my Honey Due list and my airplane has been flying since 5ince 5/9/09!
