    There's a few on youtube with old jet ski conversions. Think about that next time you find an old fiberglass boat or neglected jet ski. As if we need more projects!

    Here's some shots from the cover of a 1959 Hot Rod magazine I was just flipping through.
    I will see what else I can find . 20230116_135554~3.jpg

    Some more old boat motors.
    I will see if I can get some shots of some boats.
    It's harder to find nice color shots of the boats. 20230116_233924~2.jpg 20230116_233759~4.jpg
