New engine for Lil Walkabout - Johnson 9.9hp

I forgot to post this picture before, but here is the new engine Johnson 9.9 hp. 

I have installed the high-thrust propeller on it to help move the heavy boat. The boat has 3,000 pounds of lead in the keel. 

The high-thrust propeller and the relatively small engine will not get me anywhere fast. 

One day I had to get out of the marina in a very tall northern waves and the engine had no problem.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
