Grant,
Oh, well then, you must be aware of Brigus. That's where I bought this engine two summers ago. I hauled it back with the big bits in the trunk of my car after I took it apart at my cousin's house in Harbour Grace in Conception Bay.
It was a long haul to Minnesota, but it made the journey without a hitch. Parts of it were in the front and rear seats with me. I had the stink of old grease traveling with me for 2,000 miles. Loved it.
I have a 5 Hp Atlantic, a 3 horsepower Acadia in mint condition ( 1961 I believe ).
The 5 horsepower Atlantic needs some work...she's a bit loose in places.
Also have the 8 Hp Acadia that I restored and that you saw on YouTube.
The plan is to build a boat that could accept any of these engines ( within reason ) by designing the engine mounts to serve them.
I know where Clarenville is, but haven't really been there, although I probably drove through it in about 1975 on a cross island jaunt from Port Aux Basques to Harbour Grace.
