RM, my first boat was a fiberglass 8 foot paddle boat. My only source of power was a wooden paddle and a strong back. I HAD A 56 CHEVY pickup to haul it in, atter I had worked a public job for a couple of I was able to buy me a 3hp Johnson trolling motor, it wouldn't plane a boat but it shore would get me from one end of a big pond to the other in a hurry. I wore it slap out so I retired it about 40 years ago but I still got it out in one of my storage buildings. Yopu sho are bringing up some good memories.
