yup I do.....I love antique boats and motors...that waterwitch is awesome! did you restore these? or bought them like that? definitely some top notch restorations...

I mainly collect old mercurys from 50's and the early 60's white merc's, also have a waterwitch and a british seagull....hopefully soon I will be building my shop so I can restore them...when I had a garage I didnt have time to do the restores, now that I have time I dont have the place to do it!!:pissed:

I have an uncle that basically has a warehouse of restored antiques at his farm. He has a few old motors. Pretty cool to look at.

I've seen the one in the last pic and the picture does it NO justice. Somebody did one heckuva job restoring that thing!

I have an old Martin 60. It is in great shape. Very few hours on it. My father in law bought it new and didn't use it. It needs some restoration. I found it hanging in one of his old barns along with an old Johnson that has never been started.

There was a guy who owned a shrimp shop in Cameron, Don Bailey, who had dozens of old antique outboards all around his shop mounted up high on the walls.
Hurricane Rita took the whole shop.

The Neptune Mighty Mite. I had one of those but when I went away in the Navy it disappeared. So did my 8' aluminum boat. Oh well.

He says it's early 1900's. Not sure of the exact yr. Evinrude 2cyclinder 2stroke. He's got a bunch of antique motors, not just outboards.
