Thanks--my first motors were Johnson's and a Sears Elgin, but I had a 13 foot YellowJacket cold molded boat and a 25 hp Evinrude. Then traded that for an almost new 35 HP Evinrude--and purchased a 15 foot ZinCraft (with a hole in it, which I patched--before glass). Had a number of smaller OMC and Evinrudes--and the largest was a 225 in the late 90's. Certainly Evinrude changed the face of boating!
