I like the rod in the holder without a reel.
priceless! Someone on the dock right prior to the shoot said "hey, put that rod in the holder". Excellent stuff!

Homelites BearCat 55's were one of the first four stroke outboards in the 1960's.

This guy in CA (3 hours north of strick in Redding, CA) that refubs them. They are used on lots of house boats and lake boats (lake shasta). The Bearcats actually weigh a LOT less than a 4 stroke of the same HP made today. With those motors . . . I imagine the Johnson + Kirby race boat was more of an advertising piece than a serious competitor.

Same thing that I was thinking Capt. Chuck.

Me too. A cane pole would have been even funnier.
Steve , sorry to hear about the stump. On just my 3rd trip out on my new friend I hit something coming back to the cut and the motor kicked up and shut down. No water in the bilge, so I went back to look for a telephone pole or whatever to find nothing. Maybe a turtle? Hope I didn`t make soup. Scared the Play Doh outta my fun factory. That didn`t sound right....I`m sure you`ll find a cam to match the crankin stereo.
Thanks Tim, I still see old Seagulls every now and then on sailboats. I thought Carla said their boat was raced with twin 55`s as well. Wonder how those boats fared in their class?
