Boat Motor Part 1

Earlier in August I found a boat motor under my mother-in-law's back porch.  She didn't want it, so I decided I would try to fix it up and make myself a fishing boat.  After some research, I found out that the motor is a Johnson DT-39.  I was even able to find a fully restored one online.

Making a Stand

After I got the motor back down to Dayton, I made a stand for the motor.  It only took two 2x4's, some screws and a couple nuts & bolts.

It looks like the spark plugs need to be replaced, and I found some good tips on fixing up Johnson motors from this era.

Over the next couple months I hope to get the motor cleaned, fixed up and working.
