SWEET!!! Any details?

They said it weighed a ton and between the weight of your boat, the motor and it's whopping 10hp no one wanted one.

Still cool!

Oh yea very cool

Wayyyyyyyy cool!

Man, everything I've seen from the '30's just has that cool 'Deco' look.

Cool pic, I've never even heard of an Indian outboard motor.

:)

I found this:


The Silver Arrow outboard motor was, like the motor wheel, an acquisition product. Developed as the Hartford Sturdy Twin by the Gray & Prior Machine Company, it was purchased towards the end of 1929 by Indian. Modified with a cast aluminum underwater muffler and a motorcycle twist-grip throttle, it was immediately placed on the market as a 1930 model. At 10 hp, it was underpowered for its weight. A few structural changes were made for the 1931 model, but acquisition and control of the company by Paul DuPont resulted in the termination of Silver Arrow production in August 1930.

What didn't DuPont acquire back then?!?

If I'm not mistaken.....girls. :whistling:

The Buddy Stubbs museum is impressive. I would have liked to have spent more time there last winter.

The Vincent section. They said Jay Leno has the second largest collection. Buddy is first.
