Boating a Half Century Ago.......

[CampbellCarl]

Just noticed that the power upgrade to the Fiskeren is shown in the pix. Boat started out as a 15' plywood boat built in San Pedro CA.. Original power was a 12 hp Hyawatha outboard. Soon, Pops added a second 12 hp Hyawatha (shown in pic #2). Then the real upgrade.....he sold the 2-12's and hung a 35 Mercury on the stern! Think about it in percent of increase....24 to 35! HaHa!

I can recall being out fishing/boating back to about 5 or 6 years of age.......Bullhead City and/or Cottonwood Cove.

Its history and it takes me back to a happier time If you don't have a problem give me a happy face wave or a thumbs up other wise Ill leave this to you and Ill post up a little later under a different title

I’m sure he’s cool with it but I seriously doubt he’ll post here saying so because he’s afraid it’ll tarnish his internet status elsewhere.

Very cool pictures.
