Here is something you don't see everyday on the lake, this is a flying Bayliner, I think owned by a guy named Harry Larsen. I dunno if it's something I would want to run on the lake, but it might be fun to try!

Triton Bass Boat
If you were smiling in that little video of the guy with the 15 hp Evinrude outboard, imagine the look on your face if you were burning down the lake in a new 2008 Triton Bass Boat with a 250 hp Mercury Optimax outboard....oh man what a boat! This is a spectacular bass boat or just a fun boat for cruising around your favorite lake. Here's a video showing off the the Triton Bass Boat.

15 Horsepower Evinrude Outboard Motor
We might as well get this blog started, this little movie is near and dear to my heart because it shows a guy running a older 15 hp Evinrude outboard motor which is identical to one of the outboards I currently use. I get a kick out of the guy's expression when he says that it's at full throttle, he sounds like me....ha....
These little 15 hp Evinrude and Johnson outboards from Outboard Marine Corporation were very popular back in the 70's and 80's when gas started to get pricey the first time. They made the motors in 9.9 horsepower and 15 horsepower, and except for the decals, it was difficult if not impossible to tell them apart. Apparently the major difference was the carb, and I understand you can upgrade a 9.9 to a 15 by swapping out the carburator, although on some model years a little more was required.
These motors are very economical, lightweight and surprisingly very powerful, especially the 15 hp. I wish they were still making them.

About The Boat Blog
Since I was old enough to stand on a chair by the kitchen sink and play with little toy boats I have had a passion for anything to do with boats and the water. A passion shared by my Dad who built two boats in our basement garage while I was a wee lad. One was a 12 foot rowboat which is now almost 50 years old, and we still use and a 14 foot plywood speedboat which sadly he sold many years ago.
From there we graduated to aluminum boats and outboard motors and even a couple of fibreglass speedboats, one of which, a 17 footer I just sold a couple of years ago.
Today my passion for boats hasn't ended, and I have two aluminum boats, the rowboat I mentioned above and a paddle boat tied to the wharf and am considering another one as I write this.
Here at The Boat Blog, I plan to write about boats and motors, specifically outboard motors and anything boating related.
I hope you will bookmark me and come back often as we talk boats....
