Anyone remember these or actually have one?

Nothing so fancy, with a full cowling and all.

I've got this exact model sitting in my Dad's garage. It pushed
Commando's Penn-Yan around from 1942 until about 3 or 4 years ago. It
still runs, but it finally became too balky to be worth the trouble of
clamping it to the dinghy's transom, so we replaced it with an electric
motor.




That's not unlike the handwrap and pull my dad gave me when I was about
seven years old. Of course, mine came in a box, disassembled, and I had
to put it together to get it to run. I had a lot of help, though!
