That’s the plan Bob. If it will run I want to take it and 3 others, but I’m only aloud to take what I can fit in my tub. I planed to run twin Pals this summer. I’ve made the steering linkage so they’re on the list. I’m starting on the 1931 – OA-55 Johnson. Its a mess. I didn’t have the Cub or the OA-55 when I was making my plans. I may not get the OA-55 done in time, if it can be saved at all. Everything on it that is suppose to move is frozen. I have got it to turn over but its really stiff. It’s probably the 4’th junk motor I’ve brought home since I told myself “don’t buy any more junk motors!” Tubs
A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
Tubs, always loved the tanks on the OA 55’s. It looked as is they ran out of the usual design rectangle tanks and had a bunch of tanks left over from a lawnmower or something. I’m sure there is an interesting story behind their design.
My money is on that you will get it up and running and cram it into the tub for July. Hopefully you can document the progress for all of us to drool over.Bob D

I have a couple long distance friends Bob, that are interested in what I do. Most everything I send them gets posted here. Tubs

We’re lucky you post here, Tubs. Your work is inspiring.
I appreciate those comments. Thank you. Not to sure how many others “drool” over the pre. WW-II stuff as Bob and I do. I feel lucky to have this hobby I enjoy so much, and having this place to show what I’m discovering. Having pictures to share of a motor I have worked on to help someone get theirs running is rewarding. While even a table top mill and lathe are only in my dreams I like showing that you can repair stuff with mostly hand tools and things you may have laying around. Epically if you tend to keep stuff. That’s what you keep it for. Right? I’ve always felt that showing what we do here is one of the way to build interest in the hobby. I realize it’s really showing off and feel I may over do it sometimes as there isn’t that many others posting pictures of what they are doing.
