Cool video. Thanks. I grew up with the 35 then the 50 then the 75. Powerful stuff back in the day.

Seahorse,

Thanks for posting this one. It is interesting to see how far we have come. I remember learning to ski behind an 18hp Evinrude on an open boat. I must have been all of about 70 pounds. When my dad upgraded to a Johnson 35, I thought we were flying!

Thanks--my first motors were Johnson's and a Sears Elgin, but I had a 13 foot YellowJacket cold molded boat and a 25 hp Evinrude. Then traded that for an almost new 35 HP Evinrude--and purchased a 15 foot ZinCraft (with a hole in it, which I patched--before glass). Had a number of smaller OMC and Evinrudes--and the largest was a 225 in the late 90's. Certainly Evinrude changed the face of boating!
