Did anyone here by any chance win the 1966 Evinrude 18 hp fast win that was sold on EBay by a chap in Norwich on Sunday? If you did and have not yet arrange pickup or collection would you be good enough to contact me first, I have a proposal to put to you, cheers, Simon

I cannot tell a lie, it was me.

Cool, I was wondering if someone in the club got it and I am glad you did, it seemed like a nice engine when I looked at it but I missed the auction end, still I have plenty to play with!!!! How have you got on with it? Got it running yet? I couldn't get a spark but everything else looked good for its age.

Hi, I haven't attempted to get it going yet, due to a lack of space in my lockup at the moment, but it is in lovely condition, the only problem found so far being one of the two 'feet' on the back of the engine tray is broken, but that should be easy to sort out. All in good time!

I wish you luck with it, it did look in very nice condition for its age although I couldn't see a spark but probably easy to sort with new points and coils, I have a 10hp that I will probably break for spares so I may be able to help you with the broken bit if they cross over so you will need to check and it would need a paint, just let me know when you get round to it, cheers.
