The SlimFisher Collection
New to the collection is this early 70's Ted Williams. It was a little worse for wear when I received it. It was graciously donated to me to save it from a trip to the dump. The lower unit had gear and seal problems. To solve the problem I sourced another lower unit from Ebay. It was from a late 60's clinton and didnt quite fit. It required a bit of drilling, and the water tube needed to be shortened by about an inch. Now it looks and runs great. |

Another recent addition is this Mercury Mark 20. It's all complete with no evidence of repair. Excelent compression and spark on one cylinder. A little tuneup and some new paint and this will make a great, and fast powerplant. It's a little big for my boat, but I may be willing to trade for the right motor. |

1939 Evinrude LightFour - The newest addition to the collection (thanks Bill). This small 4 cylinder motor puts out 9.7hp, and looks great. Once I give it a good tune up, it should run great too. Best of all it's complete, and almost dent free. |

1925 Johnson J-25. This so far is the oldest and smallest motor in the collection, and is currently awaiting restoration The J-25 delivers 1 1/2 horse from a single cylinder. |
In Progress This is what the poor guy looked like when I got it. You can see it now on the main page. More images soon
Martin "40". The Martin outboards are among my favorites. Only in production for 5 years, but there still seems to be quite a few around. This is one of three Martin's in my collection |
1932 Viking #186 off the production line. This motor is an Evinrude, Model 441 also sold through Eaton's Canada. This was the first motor Eaton's ever branded under the Viking Marquee, and my first restoration. Not that it was too tough to do. The motor was in excellent shape when I got it. All that was required was a good cleanup, some new paint on the jugs, and a whole lot of polishing. |
This 1936 Johnson 200 I received last year in a trade for an old opposed Neptune twin. Pictrued here sharing a stand with my 1939 Light Four. And there is nothing light about it. |
1947 and 1950 Johnson HD-25's respectfully. These little guys put out a whopping 2.5 hp. The 1950 still had some gas in it probably from 1950 when I got it, and will require extensive cleaning. The 1947 runs just great after a good carb cleanup |
Sold to a new owner for it's often missing side cowls. Hopefully There are some other vital organs that can be donated to help put another old Champion back on the water.
Champion 4.2hp HydroDrive. |
1946 Viking sold through Eaton's Canada and manufactured by Gale. I had to bring this one to the experts for identification. |
1952 Evinrude Fleetwin 7.5hp. I acquired this motor while attending my first Antique Outboard Club Meet from Bruce Reinhart. Pictures of his collection can be viewed here |

1927 Elto Super Light Twin. This motor I acquired in late 2003. It has definitely seen better days. All that is pictured here is the power head. Currently it's stuck. I've filled the cylinder heads with penetrating oil and will let this guy sit until spring. Hopefully by then I should be able to crack the piston loose. These motors are some of the most covenanted by collectors, most likely due to the whimsical looking rudder used to steer them. Well I ended up doing more damage than good trying to free up the stuck piston, so instead of trying to make a runner out of this motor, I decided to shine it up and display it. Maybe I will part it out to help others complete their restoration |
