Penn Yan Kingfisher

My first four into the world of motors. I picked
this about just before Memorial day. Put on a quick coat of paint an varnish and got her on the water. The lines of this boat are incredible.

I ditched the vintage 2 stroke and
purchased a new Mercury 2.5 hp fourstroke. Top speed is about 9 mph!

Sweet looking rig! The new four strokes are a joy too, no gas mixing, although I do sometimes miss the 2 stroke smoke. I've been mostly motoring for two or three years now, it's hard to go back to the paddle. Do you have a trailer for the boat, or are you able to car top it?

I'm not so into motors, but that one does have pretty lines. wonder how well she rows?

My thoughts exactly. I did say to myself, if I were to have a boat with a motor it should look like that.

Thanks! I car top all of my boats. Trailers seem like a pain. But, I always said that about motors now I own two. It rows extremely smooth, although I rarely us the oars. I still paddle this like a traditional canoe when I am not using the motor.
