busycoupe Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 A lot of the early small outboards were air cooled. You can see some cooling fins just under the head housing. .. i don't know how they would stop it though. Quote

My first experience with outboards was a 3.5 HP Evinrude from the late 50's or early 60's,and even it was water-cooled. My best GUESS on the brakes is that with such a small pulley on such a small motor and what looks like it might be a large pulley on the axle,it didn't go that fast,anyhow. Leave the belt really loose,and it wouldn't be hard to stop. Still,with a little kid in it driving around on sidewalks on city streets,it looks like the builder would have put a handbrake of some sort on it,doesn't it? Then again,maybe it was an expensive step-son? <G> Quote

Well,to be fair there was a LOT less traffic running around those days,even in the cities,and a LOT fewer drivers with attitudes looking for someone to run over. Back then if you ran over a child,you WOULD be going to jail unless there was absolute proof there was nothing you could have done to prevent it. These days people are running over other people on purpose and not going to prison because they were having a bad day and they got a shrink to testify it wasn't their fault due to emotional stress.

Surprised more people haven't converted them into motor homes in this day of high fuel prices. Aerodynamic for both increased fuel efficiency and less wind noise. Plus it will blow around a lot less out on the road. Quote
Todd B Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 I could see a cool place set for my Grand kids on my land out of an old plane. Quote
casper50 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 wonder what those mirrors/lights came off of. Quote

pflaming Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 It would certainly turn heads on a down town street in SFO or Boston or . . . To see that nose show would give one pause I'm sure. Quote
