i would like to know how it seem to move so fast with only 3hp...snd then you whip out a 15hp outboard on a faster hull and you barely move
@Nemod702 ай бұрын
They said it had 3, but probably had closer to 6. The 6 hp ones had 10. They were taxed by the hp, so they mistated the hp, and the government didn't check.

Probably quite fuel efficient too?
@bensmith4563 Жыл бұрын
Yes and absolutely not its really low power so it's inherently fuel efficient but really old engines weren't very efficient with modern technology they could probably get twice the power with half of the fuel in the same displacement

My Grandmother told us about her Father & his Father who came here to Mobile Al. From Germany & they both Built each of them a Commercial Boat. They pulled Logs for the Cypress Mill located in Hog Bayou. In the Plateau Area. She told about the Put Put motor they had in them. = 1 Cyl. That was cranked by spining the flywheel by hand. We don't have any photos of them as this was in the late 1800s & early 1900s That motor must be a lot like them .

Wow! This moves at good clip. Is that a diesel engine?
@frankgiles85356 жыл бұрын
jesus no its not a diesel,diesel was unheard of in engines of that size at the time,you couldn't even buy diesel in NFLD then,but it would also burn the alcohol from St. Pierre/Miqeulin that people used to smuggle to NFLD for their bouze,when they ran out of gas they would use some of the alcohol to get home,sometimes they would run the engine with it
