. Heck, I remember one guy that used 12.5-1 (2

Got that beat.
My 1954 British Seagull 40 Plus uses 10:1 ratio.
If there's a strong tail wind, I almost choke to death, so I constantly
gybe to keep the blue exhaust smoke on one side or the other.
BTW I don't use that engine much anymore.
In 1954, I recall my dad letting me have a 7.5 hp Evinrude Fleetwin on a
12' Skimmar brand skiff. The boat actually planed. Half pint of oil to a
gallon of gas.
