Getting Towed

[Wally]

This just came by us at Sisters' Point, Hood Canal. It was towed the other way yesterday. Anyone on or known to this forum? What kind of boat is it?

[Steve_Kiesel]

Don't know who it is, but the boat is a Johnson or Evinrude.

Evinrude Sweet 16

Deluxe 17

Could be a OMC/Johnson or Evinrude Deluxe 17...my family used to own a 1965 in that blue color...they sold it in the 1990's some time in Portland, OR. There is a page for Gull Wing Fanatics if you google search ultimate OMC/Johnson you can find more info.

More info

The give away that it's a Deluxe and not a sweet 16 is the nav light near the bow.

Johnson Deluxe Runabout. If I could see the numbers I might know who it is.

There are two sites that suport them -
Gull-Wing.Net and OmcBoats.Org/forum

The first two photos are my '65 Johnson Runabout and '66 Johnson Seasport,
the third is my Evinrude Sweet 16...totally different hulls. The Johnsons are a three point - almost hydroplane - hull by Harry Hillman while the Evinrudes are a Gull Wing designed by Dick Cole.

I also like ultimate.com/omc-johnson it has a ton of good info, the gull-wing.net page was converted to that one.

Not the easiest way to pillage...

The dude may be on the hook, but he looks stylin; with the pirate flag...probably guaranteed that a few @%&#*AAAaaaarrgghhhh(s) were used during this outing.

Stiff rope

Hard to tell in the pic but that johnson maybe pushen the other one.

[Peter_Crowl]

Sometimes you have to pull start 'em :~)?

[Sammamish1]

It's either that or coast em downhill.
