Sea Horse !

Through good luck and clean living we happened upon a well cared for, garage find.
It is a 1970, 25 horsepower Johnson Sea Horse.
Fifty Dollars!
It is a manual start and has high compression.  I'm slightly scared of it. The largest outboard I've had was a 6hp.  My favorite was a Yamaha 2.5.  So this one is ten times as powerful at least.
Someday it will make the Mississippi River Skiff fly.
We are getting close to sea trials for the skiff.  It will be strictly oars for the near future.
