1929 ELTO High Speed Quad

[@kentuckyblugrass]

Unbelievable how much power a 90+ year old outboard puts down. I guess I should say "how well it moves that boat". Love this channel 🙏🏻

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Thanks. So glad you enjoy our videos. Sorry we haven't been more active this year.

[@michaelfitzgerald9502]

Air cooled and hauling ass.. 1929.. Absolutely amazing.. Very good show...

[@jerrygarner8115]

WOW! A 1929 model outboard that still runs,& a 4 cylinder on top of that,nothing short of amazing!

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

The Quad is a truly special motor.

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

That's a really handsome combination. Starting procedure looks challenging! Thanks for sharing.

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

It isn’t so bad once you know how to start them.

My favourite was an early British Seagull with brass fuel tank.I have no idea of its age. It was quite happy using 10 % oil in its fuel I used it to propel a Manus Island built outrigger canoe . It cost 110 kina fro the local chandlers as an unretrieved repair. A friend who collected Seagulls restored the spark with the addition of a capacitor in the magneto circuit. My friend ,who built the canoe, used it for night fishing around Rabaul Harbour and we received some delicious meals from Red Emperors caught . At the finish of my work contract after several years, I returned to Oz ,but decided that the Seagull belonged on the outrigger.I like to imagine that it’s still putting around the Islands and giving its owner relief from having to paddle for hours at a time. Good Memories👍😷🇦🇺

[@talleyrand2739]

won Tok also the old pentas were a favourite on the sepic canoes whe tere in the 60s/70s the seagull will push a 12 foot boat at the same speed as a 20 foot god old motors parts still available in England

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Keep your eyes on our channel. We may have a Sea Gull video later this year.

[@returnofthemusickid]

i just got 3 british seagull engines im restoring

[@colgatefreshmint]

I love these old outboards, they look great on a old wooden boat

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Agreed. Old motors look best on old wooden boats.

[@SneakersAnonymousMatt]

That baby is moving amazing to see the power these old engines had an its barely smoking I bet if u ran some vp 2 stroke fuel in that thing it run even better

[@1960fusion]

I love how you start it, so darn cool!

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

It's a pretty cool outboard. Thanks for watching.

[@samtate1260]

Gotta love ❤️ those old motors 👍

[@colehara]

I remember reading somewhere that ELTO stood for Evinrude Light Twin Outboard.

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

You are correct. ELTO was Ole Evinrude’s second outboard company.

[@colehara]

@@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166 Always had a soft spot for Evinrudes. I had a few from the fifties back in the day.

[@victoroneschuck4139]

And air cooled! Beautiful outboard

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

It is water cooled via pressure/vacuum created by the propeller. Often enthusiasts will start the motor on land to warm them up prior to use. There is no harm as long as the operator keeps a close eye on the temperature.

[@johnyank1872]

very cool video I like the glimpse of the wooden photo boat

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Thanks for your input. Always nice to hear what people like about the videos.

[@bigears4426]

It was built with quality in mind, impressive performance as well

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Surprisingly fast.

[@hanziwatdan5373]

Beautiful

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Thank you

[@bigdon2241]

i have a 1956 elto 12 hp made in peterborow ontario canada love those old elto

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

1956 ELTO 12 hp is a great motor.

[@1_fishin_magician153]

awesome old outboard tiller....never heard of the maker........ thumbs up..!! * Back then it would have most likely pushing a wooden boat ??

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

ELTO was the second outboard company started by Ole Evinrude. Definitely would have pushed a wooden boat back when it was new.

[@litefoot900]

Ahh they had the evinrude cough way back then to

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

It was built by Ole Evinrude so I guess that would make sense!

[@bombadeer8231]

1929 what a year!

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

They made a great motor that year.

[@geraldsobel3470]

Time to run some Rum!!

[@db3170]

Mercury Mark 25 on the camera boat is the real deal..

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Thanks. It will get its own video some day.

[@5tr41ghtGuy]

That old girl can really haul the mail!

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Definitely!

[@dominicpetruzzelli3134]

That thing screams

[@randymack1782]

love seeing these old 2 stroke boat motors of the 1920's, however 1 thing really pisses me off, being an automotive & motorcycle guy for last 40 years, why in the world didnt we have any engines that ran like this on motorbikes, or cars back then? lol, so yeah I want 1, LOL..... I got my eye on one, if I can save to buy before it sells?

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Good luck. I hope you get it.

[@michaelrobertson8795]

It's 2 cool I'd love to have one of those👍

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

They are still out there. Keep your eyes open and one may find it's way into your collection.

[@GoingtoHecq]

that is a very beefy engine. Looks good too.

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

It is quite heavy, but it makes up for it in shear power!

[@craigsnook3605]

Pity they won't make outboards that pretty now.

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Agreed!

[@scottandersen420]

Cool, but what a hassle

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

No argument here. Antique outboards can be hassle occasionally. Usually it happens when someone turns on the camera. :D

[@fishingandboating821]

Are these videos on lake Saint Clair and if they are hi from the U-S-of eh side

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Hi back at you! This video was taken at Long Point on Lake Erie. Our videos are taken all over Southern Ontario. This particular motor lives on Lake St Clair so you may see it out there one day.

[@fishingandboating821]

@@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166 sweet that motor is so cool I am apart of the Great Lakes chapter and my name is Cameron and I have a few antiques myself

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

@@fishingandboating821 maybe we’ll see you when the borders open again.

[@alanglen5902]

Not a lot of smoke. I thought those engines needed 8 to 1 fuel ratio???

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

They do need a lot of oil, but a motor in good tune won't smoke much even at such heavy ratios.

[@chrisrose3769]

Internal combustion finger ripper offer.

[@nswiss19751]

Lean sneeze on idle

[@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166]

Yes. These motors needs constant fiddling until they are warm.
