I always see classic V-drives and jets. What happened to all the classic outboards. Esp with gas prices I would figure these would be gaining in popularity?

Is this what you call classic?

Nice ride Kat, but I don't think that is a classic...
I think the old inline 6 would be more of a classic... I remember the bumble bee sound, at the high revs, man I miss those motors!!!!!

Dude! Mine is still alive, kickin', and haulin' my big butt around! 1979 17ft. Witchcraft Banshee w/ 1980 90HP Mercury. Is that classic enough?

Thats what I would call a classic. Awsome boat. What year?

***boatCharles I would say is more vintage outboards. I was looking for more of the OG Baker, Stoker, Eliminator, Nordic bubble decks from the 70's and 80's.

That pic is from OP63 last year as we were towin' 77Charger's 1977 Charger to the sandbar. 90HP doesn't give ya much top end but she's a thrill a minute in the rough stuff! Can you say air-time? I knew that you could.
