TECHNICAL. "As a five-year-old, Hunn was so impressed by the throaty purr of a 35-horse Evinrude outboard, he became obsessed with engines present, past, and future. Since then, he has had the opportunity to amass lots of outboard literature and more than 100 vintage motors. This book is about some of those rigs and many other makes. It is written in a nontechnical style for anyone who has ever had an interest in outboard motors. Its pages should help you identify the year and history of your favorite motor, help you discover what kind of spark plugs and oil mixture it wants, and provide you with a look at dozens of classic outboards from the 1890s through the 1950s, both the recognizabl e and the unusual.
