Syd’s Text Message Museum – 1916 Koban Outboard

KOBAN Outboard sculpture?

A huge thanks to Syd and his curated Text Message Museum. It’s quite amazing, An entire museum of boat parts and now art in the palm of your hand. And sent to you at all sorts of odd times. And we get to share it on a bigger screen, or your phone.. And yes we know all about the crAPP and email mess. Working on an entire new home, and so just shut your yapper and enjoy Syds collection of stuff. Art stuff now.. Here is Syd announcing todays piece of art. Not to be confused by another piece of Art. That got flushed down the toilet about an hr ago. Too much?

A study in machined metal and patina

Just picked up a motor last night but it needs major help and parts. I believe that it is a 1916 Koban

Is perfection Imperfection? Is Cindy Crawfords mole perfection? Yes BTW

For starters the flywheel is cracked and a transom pad is missing and there was a car coil mounted on it so who knows what I will find under the flywheel. I thought that you might feel a story. I will go down and get a full shot picture for you Those 4 screws on the flywheel are someone’s attempt to keep the flywheel from cracking anymore

Not sure what that is, but its cool
