My buddy cleaned out his garage last week and gave this 1972 Evinrude SS Bobcat 399.  I don’t know whether to thank him or curse him.  It appears everything is there and in the big picture in pretty good shape.  Anyway another toy to play with.  According to Evinrude the 399 is 30 HP delivering about 7hp to the track. Should be a real crusher.  Anyone have any tech data on the motor?

The rail trail has been groomed north of Fenelon. We ran down the trail and back to try out the sled.

Are they calling for similar weather up your way, George?

Tomorrow and Monday most likely have us back down to grass around these parts. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-149_metric_e.html

Yes TWN says rain and fingers crossed it's minimal. I'm gonna go for a ride down to a buddies place to give him a hand getting his sleds out of his trailer into his garage
