Honda motor for Sale!

We are now the proud owners of a new, 9 year old, dinghy engine. After about a week of searching Darryl finally found this one for sale about an hour and a half north of here. I could hear the screeching of the tires as he left the parking lot yesterday to go and look at it. There seemed to be no doubt in my mind that he would return with it, beaming proudly like the father of a newborn son. As excited as a 3 year old on Christmas morning. It is an old Yamaha 2 stroke engine - that's 2 strokes less complicated than the Honda 4 stroke we spent so much time and effort trying to coax back to life. What is the difference you ask? It boils down to this. One works and the other doesn't. At least for now. He also came home with another dinghy, deflated and rolled in a ball. Really? I have no idea what we are going to do with it. (If it deflates and can be rolled in a ball you won't catch me floating around in it!) And whether they work or not, we now have two engines and two dinghies. I actually feel at this point we are one step closer to being approached by the producers of "Hoarders". Oh well. Off I go to help with the official transferring of the engines. Wish me luck!
