A few years ago, I got a few boxes from Rivers down on Adams Street. Doubt anyone has been there to get the rest. My '62 Johnson gave up the ghost and I may be able to locate a few. If not, the nail works fine :thumbup: One time, I even used a bass hook to get back up the Wacissa :roll:

A little piece of wire handle off a bait bucket will also get you home. :beer:

Hey, congrats on keeping that puppy running all this time.

1963 was ... a few years back.
