In 1909, Ole Evinrude himself, his first outboard was a 1½ HP job based on a German design. But maybe you don’t want to go back that far?

 

[oldgit]

Aha but I bet Byron remembers when outboards had a set of paddles on the bit in the water and you put coal in at the top.

I made one! Seriously. Wouldn't have wanted to go salmon fishing on the Teifi with it, but it did float (ish)

 

[FlyingSpud]

That was called a Seagull, wasn’t it?

 

[BarryH]

I'm begining to worry about you. First it was a coracle that you owned and started to sink, now its a Regal. I wonder if you should take over from Burgandyben as the title holder of Jonah!

 

[BrendanS]

Ah! but I didn't sink the Regal. It's just gotten a little leaky /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Well if you and BurgundyBen would care to accompany me on the shakedown....in a separate boat!

That should take care of any potential problems /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
