So my dad once mention to me that he wouldn't mind having an old outboard like his dad used to have. I forget what the actual brand was that they had. I think it started with a B or a G. I'll have to ask him again. Anyway I couldn't find one that was in one piece and I ran across this 1950 Evinrude. I might've overpaid for it but it was in once piece and looked to be in very good shape. I did clean it up a little but it was with a rag and mild soap. I decided I didn't want to remove the patina on it even though it looks like it would've come off with a couple hours of work. I was afraid of taking the paint with it. It's 100% there and has a lot of compression. I honestly thing it would run. I hid this thing in my garage and then bedroom for months so I could give it as a xmas gift. Needless to say he was REALLY surprised. Onto the pics.
