Here's my Sea King - my grandfather bought it new in the early 50's from Montgomery Ward. When my Dad was a kid, their family vacations were fishing on Herrington Lake in central KY. He didn't care for fishing as much as my grandfather so he spent his time cruising the lake in a jonboat with this motor. Based on his stories, he made it sound like he was in a jet boat or something, but I guess to a 7-8 year old boy, the old Sea King moved him along pretty good. When I was in high school, I had it on our 14 foot MonArk jonboat and left it tied up all summer on the Kentucky river near our house. Me and my buddies blasted all over the river that summer in that setup, fishing, swimming and just having a good time.

My Dad passed in May, so I've been cleaning out his property and there the Sea King sits, along with a 1956 Johnson that was also my grandfathers, as well as the jonboat.
