In fact, it's the new motor for the H7HT boat. An early 50's Hiawatha 5hp motor to be exact. They were produced by Gale (OMC) and sold by Gamble-Skogmo Auto and Department store. This fine example now powers the boat to a rollicking top speed of 'brisk walk'.
Sold my extra set of golf clubs to a coworker, got a few tips from happy customers, looked on Craigslist and found this beauty in Post Falls ID. After driving through the trailer hood I found the mobile home with the red door. Guy comes out covered in tats and big gauge earrings followed by a snively 2 year old. I must be in the right place! Lo and behold the thing runs and for a mere $125 it's mine and took us on a successful trip out to Popcorn Island on Killarney Lake. First we even powered up river for a while to be sure it would run against the current and it eaisily bested the 2hp my neighbor and I tried last month. Next up I plan to change the plugs and give it a nice lube, check the impeller and paint it a dull green to fool that punk Greeenie. Then we are off to the river to search for new spaces to slay. Praise Heston!
