On ebay today there is a very nice tether boat hydro. Some, OK many of these are usually kinda clunky. Well, not today. This little water skipper has a wonderful patina, well shaped, and the engine is perfect.
I have no idea what its worth, the asking price of $300 shows the seller knows it’s something special. Which it is. The idea of putting a tether on it and smacking it into a wall by mistake is a little nuts. But on a shelf as art.. Perfect
You can find the listing HERE on ebay
That engine is art into itsself!

Love the masthead today and this style of ad/artwork that Evinrude and Johnson used.

Do a down to the frame restoration with a fiberglass bottom and modern power. Then market it as an updated Chris-Craft type boat on ebay once owned by someone famous in a popular movie, but can’t be documented, at an unrealistic price. It MUST have been on a mantle SOMEWHERE in On Golden Pond.

I can’t stop looking at that little motor. And that prop! Who made those? I’ll bet he was German. Or Swiss.
