Hows this for a fishing boat? Its a 1960 richline challenger with a 1955 evinrude 15 hp engine

Too nice for this crowd

If it get’s you to the fish, it’s done it’s part !!

That motor will still be going long after that boat in in the grave yard. powdr

As i recall, a 25 hp was the largest one Evinrude made back then.
I had a 1954 Mark 55 Mercury 4 cylinder 40 hp which was the largest Merk back then.
Traded that for a 56 Johnson 33 maybe 35 hp (with electric start), which was also then the largest.
And the boats were mostly wood or aluminum, as the f/g ones were just starting to show up.
