My dad has that exact motor on a 17' jon boat. Dad was my fishing buddy, been gone 14 years. Can't tell you how good it was to hear that motor running, lotsa memories brought back. Thanks!

That Ga State Patrol sticker is a "safety inspection" they did on cars and trailers back then. For trailers it was basically check to make sure the lights work. It brings back memories of getting lights to work on each car I had.

@waynecasper5346 3 года назад

Yeah I used to to do those inspections on cars and trucks and trailers back in the day in Georgia. In a way it was a good idea because it kept a lot of junk off the roads

I remember adding those cans of oil with my dad to the boats 6 gallon gas tank. He would always make sure I pumped in 5 and 8/10 of gallons of gas to put those cans of oil in… He was very particular. Thanks for bringing that memory back. He is 90 years old, can't wait to show him this video.... THANK YOU !!!!!

@texasstudios29 3 года назад

I've always enjoyed older boats, the curves, the design. Honestly in my opinion older boats look better than newer ones. Plus if you can get a old motor with manual shifting instead of electronic shift nowadays, then it's a win/win.

@zackhamilton7421 3 года назад

Absolutely a great video! I love those models of Johnson/Evinrude outboards. They have a very unique sound and look. These were some of the best running before they they tried the ole 100/1 oil mix ratio that blew up thousands of outboard models when they went to the next model years after that one. I can seriously eat off of that powerhead. Super clean boat sir! You are excellent with your videos and content... please, keep going! I promise to keep liking your videos!

Nice find. Those older boats were tough as nails. I was lucky enough to come across a 1989 Crappie Master all original with a 1988 Johnson 88 SPL. Freshwater only. Matching trailer. It’s gets on up pretty good. Tops out at 46 mph. We also have a 1984 Renken bow rider powered by an all original OMC Seadrive 1.6L We upgraded interior due to weathering. Wouldn’t part with either one. Awesome video brother. Great find. ✌🏼🇺🇸

Super cool find! A fun little old boat to cruise the lakes or rivers in on a summer day. It looks small enough it would fit in a garage to keep it out of the weather when not in use.

@benjamingoldman6861 3 года назад

Recently bought a house in North Carolina on lake toxaway. It came with an original 13ft whaler with an Evinrude 40. That boat is fast even in the high altitude. The owner told me that he never serviced it since it was new in 1987. I don’t understand how it was still pumping water. But it was babied on a lake the boat still runs like new. The first thing I did though was have it serviced!! Lol

@robf2403 3 года назад

What an incredible find. In the 90s my dad and I spotted a 68 13' whaler w/ a 40 Johnson in original condition. It took us a few years to convince the owner to part ways but we had it all the way until 2014 when it was stolen (and not recovered) from our driveway. Gotta respect the ride of those Mckee's though, currently looking for a 15/17ft myself.

@michaelbrummett414 2 года назад

The South Carolina State Equipment Surplus Auction in Columbia, SC has a few used McKee Craft boats come thru there, most have trashed engines but the hulls are usually solid. Several southern states purchased them rather than Boston Whalers, and McKee Craft designed a lot of their hulls using BW patented designs when BW went bankrupt and the patents expired, a person I helped bring back one was a really solid hull w/o motor, trailer for $650, 15 ' based on BW Super Sport 15'hull design. They have a website and auctions monthly, check it out.
