You would probably lighten the load a bit if you went to a plastic gas tank.

Thats a 1957 Johnson AD11. Its a 7.5 hp. Runs perfect. My wifes Grandad bought it new in 58 and sold his boat in 59 after 3 trips. I have put an estimated 4000 hours on it in the 7 years I have had it. Its the most dependable motor around. Never left me paddleing. 1.56 hours a day 7 days a week. That is a good motor.

Its a 2 line presuer tank. There are no plastic replacements for it. When I go out on a day off its usualy 15-17 hours. Where most go wrong with these is thinking that a 40:1 is a good mix. I have NEVER ran anything but 24:1 in it. I troll at 3-5 mph all day with it at least 2 days a week.

I was just ribbing you a little. My Great GrandDad had an old Evinrude that he would start in the morning and leave running all day. One of the cousins got that motor and still uses it to this day G Gdad passed in 1987. Bring that thing over to EM when they do the Antique boat show in the spring.

Let me know if you hear a date on that show. My boat is a 55 model so they are both old.
