Right place right time

This doesn’t happen very often for us but it did yesterday. We were at my uncles house for a Christmas party last night .
My uncle just recently sold his sailboat and isn’t going back to boating. He had this brand new dinghy motor that he had just listed on Craig s list . The rum was flowing just right and he mentioned how disgusted he was with the crappy calls from the add . A little later and a lot more rum and wayla this Lehr 2.5 is mine for FREE?. Should work perfect on our Trinka 10 footer.

Well merry friggin Christmas! Nice score, hope the head doesn’t hurt too much from all that haggling.

I thought that it was Madeira.

Every now and then when you step into it, it comes up smelling like roses.

That's propane, right?

How cool! Congrats!!

Dinghy looks heavy. Sure it floats?

That was certainly worth saving up for!! Merry Christmas Uncle, that was very kind.

Greetings,
Mr. PM. If you have any rum left you should try this recipe...

Wish you better luck with it than I had with mine. Do not get it anywhere near salt water!

I was interested in fuel storage and use. Pulled this off Lehr's website:



Jim

I was very happy with the fuel consumption. Have 2 of the 17 pound composite tanks. Used them on the outboard and the gas grill. Went through 3 tanks in 8 months between the outboard and the grill doing the Great Loop. Nice to be able to shine a light through the tank and see the remaining liquid. Most stations won't fill composite propane tanks (thankfully, you only need to find one). Carburetors are junk Chinese quality. Replaced 2 in 2 years. No rebuild kits for engines smaller than 20 HP.

At this point we’re only planning on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers.

Had the little 2.5 hp one as well, ran very well, fuel stats seem right on, liked it a lot, only had it 6 months till I sold the trawler though.

William,
Merry Christmas, and great for you! Hopefully it will bring you a lot of fun on those KY TN waters.

Sure enjoyed seeing you on our recent trip thru. Would be fun to spend the whole summer in your area.... really neat place.

Well she runs good .

Love me some Trinka! My smaller one, carried for a few thousand miles, was the LSB Leakey. (It was an anthropological Christening.)
