Sad - but did you see the Shamrock that went through the bait shop window? That boat wanted to go fishing!
That bait shop used to be Schmidt's Marine which was an Johnson outboard shop. So was a long narrow building on the waterside of the street, that in now a diner or something. Schmidt's marine was owned by my uncle and I worked there in the late 60's repairing outboards. He even sent me to OMC training school in New Jersey to learn outboard repair. Too bad they have changed so much that now I don't have a clue how to repair one. I'm sure I can do water pumps and such, but forget the electronics.
Never made a career of outboard repair, not exciting enough for me.
