quote:The original prop stop!
aboot 15 mph, hit something under the water, bent the prop.
As a kid in 6th grade, I had a 9.9 Johnson. Used to keep spare shear pins and cotter pins in my tackle box.
Hit a stump, paddle to the bank, change it out and keep going. I thought I was Burt Reynolds playing “Gator” the way I’d run the lake.
I can’t imagine parents today letting a 12 year old head out on the water from dawn to dusk just about every summer day.
ETA: My bad. It was a 9.5. The 9.9’s came out a few years after mine which had a more rounded shape.

Same here Frog! I would leave the the house in the morning when I was 7-8 and run the creeks and rivers. I played in old antebellum homes way back in the reservoir flood plain in Mississippi. Running trot lines or whatever. Always bringing home artifacts and food for the table. Thought I was Tom Sawyer.
