I bought this little Evinrude at the Charlton meet earlier this year for $20. It has proved to be so reliable that I have no fear of letting Abby and Harry use it without me!
A swarm of Mercury powered vessels
Tom M. takes daughter Elizabeth for a spin with his trusty Scott

Action shots of our "how slow can you go" event
No surprise that it turns out that outboards of 1.9hp or less go pretty slow!
Bob G always pushing the rules - 4 guys in the boat with the British Atco Boatimpeller for power. But he didn't win...
AN ELGIN 1 1/4hp DID!!!!!!!!
Look at all the waves we made with the mini-motors!
See you at the next Yankee Chapter meet!
