Besides the engines with the name displayed, all I can guess is the V8 is a Ford.  ------------- |

Eric,please don't tell me you're one of those guys who throws things out just because he hasn't used them in 10 or 20 years!!!
Please post that number if you would. I have a parts motor for each of my running motors but you never know. Farmer |

| MaddMarxx, thanks for the offer but I'm trying to get more into the mercs. Those 4 on the end were my most recent "acquisition" and besides, my wife is starting to take a head count every time she goes into the garage. Now ,I don't know much about women but that can't be a good sign. thanks Farmer |

Farmer, Can't help myself, I love all boats even outboards, have had a few old evinrudes, still have a Mark 25, with two old mark 20's in parts.
I see the outboard to the far right, looks like a tiller handle from a Johnson, but it looks like it is blue? The tank under the 6hp Evinrude must be a Mercury tank? That one in the background has got me puzzeled, tried zooming in but still can't tell. Looks like it says LARK which would make it an Evinrude, however It might be an old GALE. Been fun, thanks  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1160" rel="nofollow - 1988 Ski Nautique |

Ted Williams?  ------------- |

| Hollywood, I believe those were sold through Sears.They are air cooled like the eska that I have now. Thanks for thinking of me but now that all my outboards are in one place, my wife has a much easier time telling when I get a new one. Not good. Gary |
