Sorry about my other post. That's the problem with spoofers, they take
a good thread and turn it away. Rude to the topic poster.
Never saw you rude to anybody, so you sure don't deserve that.
Here's something you might like. The newer one has a sweeter tone.

A guy on the Mississippi with the newer one

Here's a guy down here. Older and simpler yet.

Makes you think about how simple these motors were.
These guys know them up and down and inside out.
But not much to learn.
Remembering if 3 things with 3 settings each have to be right to start
her up and keep her running. You got 1 right way to do it and 8 wrong ways.
So if you don't remember the right settings it's going to average about
4 1/2 tries to get it right. That's why folks have trouble.
You got to know your settings.



Thanks Jim. That was a good post and the video was quite interesting.
Now If I can only think of something to say about Evinrude besides my
mom and dear sweet old dad went to a party as his invited guest.

In article , says...

Scotty will say something like "Why hasn't Harry been killed?"

Dude, don't blame me for spoofed threads... Why don't you just plonk the
spoofers and get over it?

And for the record, when I do go after Harry... Oh forget it. Believe
what you wish...

Scotty

I could use a short, greasy white boy standing at the end of my
driveway, holding a lamp. But you'd have to supply a C.V. and references.

one word. HARRY

Tim, ignore the spoofer. Notice he's talking about Harry, not Evinrude.
I don't care much for Harry, but he knows quite a bit about Evinrude.
Problem is when he says anything, he gets jumped on by the big ego guys
who can't just ignore him when he says something they don't like.
Which is all of the time, even if it's about boats.
Loogy and Scottty won't let a boat conversation happen.
Loogy will jump right in about the lobsterboat every time.
Scotty will say something like "Why hasn't Harry been killed?"
Then everybody is getting spoofed by the big egos who are after Harry,
so you don't even know who's who.
They just can't ignore him.
I'm about to give up. They even spoofed Richard.
Probably because he dares to talk to Harry.
Richard can handle Harry easily.
Ole Evinrude was a great American success story.
He's responsible for much of OB boat design because of his innovation
and drive.
Would somebody else have done it if he hadn't?
Who knows.
Thanks for the thread.




You tell him. Harry and his father are great American Hero's

Whoever you are, whether jps or slammer or somebody else, how about
talking about Evinrude and your experience with them?
My earlier spoofing is done. I see where it led, and I don't like it.
No, I'm not apologizing. Let Harry apologize for all the rot he's
spewed here.
So, it's your move now, jps, slammer or whoever.
It's already 64 degrees down here, and I've got some chores to do on the
RV. I'll leave it you for now. Don't matter to me none.

Speaking of RVs, we're planning a trip to Lake Anna about the second
week in March, just to get the cobwebs out of the travel trailer.

At least half my father's customers were union members...mostly highly
skilled factory workers who built helicopters, trucks, ships,
armament, machine tools, and civil servants, like cops, firemen, and
teachers. You know, the men and women who built America and made her
strong. Not lumps of **** like you.


You avoided the message - what's new? So he ran a non-union business.
Good for him! He was allowed to make his own decisions and not pay a
premium for substandard workers. That would help explain his longevity
and success. Too bad you didn't learn from him and just simply cashed
out and ended his legacy when he died. Did the demand for boats, motors,
and service/repairs die with him? I doubt it. You were incapable or
unwilling to take over the company and took the easy way out. If half of
what you said about him is true, he was probably an interesting, and
intelligent, man with a vision that you squashed with an auction. Who's
the lump of ****, Harry? It's certainly not me.

Yeah, *you* are a lump of ****, Krueger. I had and have no desire to
run a retail business. There was no auction. I took a leave of absence
from my advertising/marketing career in DC, returned to New Haven for
a few months, and sold the stores' merchandise out to the bare walls.
I formed a partnership with our family lawyer and accountant, and we
redeveloped the main store's land into a nice little shopping center,
which we all still own. It's been a moneymaker for decades. The
marina's land-little store-and slips were sold to a real estate
developer. No regrets here.

Many people own, but not run, successful retail businesses. Evidently
it wasn't that successful if the land was worth more than the business.
Auction/Going out of business sale - pretty much the same result - you
closed your father's business. If anything you said was true (and there
is an necessary doubt in your case) then I doubt you had a decent
relationship with your father. You made a move to turn it into fast
money and ignored his passion. Sad.

That's your response? I guess I hit the nail on the head. Sorry it
turned out that way for you, Harry.
