I have a 1962 18 horse Johnson. Got it last year and is in mint condition. Only problem with it, it won't stay into forward gear, runs great it just doesn't want to catch. I would rather not invest a bunch of money in this older motor. If I were to try and get rid of it for at least some money is my best bet Twin City outboard in Shakopee. I emailed them to see if they can give me a very rough estimate on what it may be worth, but so far no response at all. In a perfect world someday I just want a small reliable motor for my 14 footer, something like a 9.9 would work just fine but need to do something about this older one first. Right now running on electric. Any help, suggestions, whatever would be great.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
