Interesting stuff fella's....Enjoy reading about this stuff. I just retired a 1972 Evinrude 65hp " Triumph". everything still works. She stayed in Lake Minocqua. Huber bay. The motor endured 2 boats, lots of skiing, fishing, stumps, etc.. My Uncle had it since new. He died, I got it in 1996. Never been apart except for the electric shift deal in Lower unit to that point. 2002 rod knock...ended up getting a New used crank, updated cage bearings... .rehoned-reringed it. Got 9 more years out of it. I had the power head completely apart. had the flywheel off. No points there. Never put points in it. The power pack failed one year. I used the serial and model# to order. He was surprised it had no points, he said," Oh its got CDI...maybe its not as old as I thought" or something....He mentioned points on some earlier models. I remember being sold the wrong set of points on a 1968ish 20 Merc. I thought i was losing my mind!!!! I finally cleaned and reinstalled the old ones and it ran fine! DoH!!!!
All boat racers lie, accept me and you, but I am starting to question you.
back in the day,i think everyone was about 10 to 15 mph faster than the 500 lb. gps we run today..
