    Makes sense, but then you still had the rudder hanging down

    The Red Fish was built in Texas. Had an extremely weak transom. (we had to replace almost every one we sold. )I worked and sold boats out of Durango, Iowa in the late 50's. There are a couple of Feather Craft. The P-14 is actually a P-14 built by my good friend (now deceased) Lyle Brooks. The old boy with a pipe in his mouth is a Martin and the picture is actually of Mr. Martin who also built pressure cookers. The Martin outboards were excellent engines, had a poppet valve induction system. They were light and nearly made a run on the Mercs of the early 50's. The white four banger should be a 1958 Mark 58 (45 horsepower) last one before the thru hub exhaust. The engine in the back should be a big twin evinrude which started the "36" class of stock racing. The G-3 was made by Glaspar. I had 4 of them until a month or so ago--gave two of them away. I still have a beauty with a 100 hp short shaft tower of power on it! Thanks to all for the great memories. Rod
