My wife and I will be traveling to various harbors in Maine by car
this weekend with our inflatable dingy (deflated) and an old 2-horse
power outboard engine. We will arrive somewhere, inflate the boat and
spend a few hours cruising. It is a great way for us to see some
beautiful places in a very short amount of time. The outboard is so
old that it must be kept straight up or it tends to leak. My question
is: any ideas on how to travel by car with an old outboard engine? In
the past the car has smelled of gas.


Why don't you stick it on one of those bike carriers that you attach to the
tow bar? Ought to be strong enough.
