1. Fuji (red). Very big and heavy
motor. Water cooled. Flywheel for pull starting sticks up out of the
cowl. I've been told that when radio controlled hobbyists would try and
pull start it the motor had so much compression that the transom on the wooden
model boats would break off! Some of these motors came with a built in
recoil pull start with a knob for a handle on the back (see last pictures). It came with a
colorful box and instruction sheet. The long metal cable out the front
is the throttle cable. Notice the different boxes that they came in.

2. Fuji (brown). Nicer looking motor
than the red one above. Looks like a Mercury Mark 55. The top part
of the cowl flips up to reveal the flywheel for pull starting. Some of
these came with a pull start built in. The pull start knob is located in
the lower rear of the cowl. Cool looking motor.

3. Allyn Sea Fury
(single cylinder).
Probably the most common gas powered outboard of all time. Very easy to
find. People tell me they run pretty well too. The Sea Fury
came in at least two different style boxes. The first Box has a
see through plastic window. Thanks to Joe Cain for the box picture!
The second box is not as fancy and has a cut out for the motor to sit
in.

4. Allyn Sea Fury
(twin cylinder) very rare.
The twin cylinder is a very rare Sea fury and neat looking. Has a big
gas tank in front. Also came with blue cylinder heads.

5. Wen-Mac on Atwood Speedster A-100
boat.
A neat looking boat and motor combination! The boat is all metal.
|  |
|
6. Wen-Mac Atwood (red flywheel). Not hard
to find but not as easy as the Sea Fury. Came with at least two
different flywheels, one red the other blue. I'm not sure of the
difference. It also came as an air cooled motor (second to last image),
and water cooled as in the first and fourth picture. Came in a colorful see
through box. I'm told they didn't run as well as the Sea Fury
motors.

7. Amps Mercury outboard. Sold by
International Hobbies in the 1980s these motors had either K&B or OS Max
gas outboards in them. The cowl and lower unit made them look like the
real motors. Very big to go on the Amps boats.
|  |
|
8. Amps Evinrude outboard. Amps
outboards came with different cowls. There were Evinrude, Mercury,
Johnson and even Suzuki outboards. They ranged in size from .21, .46 and
.65 cu. inch. The one on the right is the racing lower unit. The Mercury
above is the regular lower unit.
There is a new company that bought the molds for these
wonderful motors and boats. See the AMPS page on this website for more
details!

9. Clarke Troller single cylinder.
Very rare! I think only 56 of these and the twin cylinder below were
made. An incredible engineering piece! A real gas motor is in the
lower unit and runs! It's an outstanding replica of the real Clarke
Troller.

|
10.
Clarke Troller twin cylinder.
Extremely rare! Very few ever made and an engineering gem with a real
twin cylinder gas motor in the lower unit just like the real motor! It
sold for $1050 new. The nice pictures on the right was from Joe Cain.
Joe also made that real nice stand for his motor. Thanks Joe!

11. Allyn Sea Fury inboard
outboard single cylinder also called the Mar Fury. Probably the most interesting of
the Sea Fury motors is their Inboard/outboard motors. They came two
ways, single and twin cylinder. You would cut a slit in the bottom of
your boat and the motor would stay in the boat and the outdrive would be on
the bottom of the boat. Allyn made a neat looking boat with this motor
installed called the Allyncraft. This is a pretty rare motor.

 |
|
12. Allyn Sea Fury inboard
outboard Twin cylinder. This is the much rarer twin cylinder
version of the Sea Fury inboard outboard motor. This would pass through
a hole in the bottom of the boat and bolt on. The engine would be in the
boat like an inboard and the lower unit would be protruding from the bottom.

13. Fuji .061 gas outboard
motor.
VERY rare motor. Very hard to find in any condition. Certainly the
rarest of the Fuji motors. The boxes for the various Fuji outboards are
all different. The one for the 061 engine is kind of plain looking and
doesn't have the nice picture on the front like some of the others do. |
|
|
14. Fuji water skier with
.061 Fuji outboard motor! Now this is RARE and VERY
unusual! I've only seen one of these in my life. Fuji offered the
female water skier as a kit. It's made of balsa. It's 7.5 inches tall
and each ski is 12 inches long. The Fuji .061 motor sits on a piece of
wood between the girl's hands. Super rare and cool looking. |

15. KidCole Models Cub Dealer Display:
While
Ted Maciag was building the two 1/3rd scale Clarke Trollers (single and twin),
Denny Cole started suggesting that Ted also build a 1/3rd scale Elto Cub.
If Ted would build the Cub, then Denny offered to help with the decals
for it. It was about that time that Denny acquired a couple of the Cub
Dealer Display stands from Donald "B.J." Pawlaczyk. B.J is the
guy who reproduced these displays and there are a couple hundred of them
spread around. So when Ted started building the Cubs (which took over 3
years), Denny laid plans to make the 1/3rd scale versions of the display
stands.
The stands started with a 10MP photograph,
but then every single color segment of the stand was individually selected and
edited to a flat color pallet, to match the original. The Photoshop
artwork is about 600 pixels per inch. For durability, the stands are
built on dry erase boards, and glued with Gorilla Glue. For longer term
color fade resistance the scale stands are printed on Epson Ultra Premium
Luster Paper at a printer resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi. Denny admits he
is still a fan of his HP printer, but Epson is one of the leaders in archive
quality printing. HP inkjet printing is known to fade within weeks,
where these Cub Stands are predicted to a minimum of 30 years before any
fading should occur. (Continued in right)

(Continued from
Description)
These 1/3rd Scale Elto Cub Dealer Display
Stands are the first product offering for Denny's new company KidCole Models.
KidCole Models will also be offering a limited edition 1/3rd scale Cub
manual and serial number plate with silver foil printing. Denny plans to
do this full time when he retires in about 9 years. But in the mean time
there will be more offerings rolling out (slowly but surely). Denny is
making the scale decals for the collaborative 1/9th scale Firestone 38 and
1/9th scale Firestone 10 toy outboard project, and he has some ideas for
offering a future 1/12th scale Firestone as well. The first complete
motor from KidCole Models will be a very limited edition of the 1914 Sweet,
based on the scale 1914 Waterman, but with a Bronze tank and with very rare
decal work that Denny was able to do with the help of Bob Skinner. You
can see the real 1914 Sweet on page 20 of Peter Hunn's "Beautiful
Outboards" book. Denny also has some unusual plans for a 1914
"Twin" that was never really an outboard. But rather it is a
concept outboard based on some of the later 1920s work that Waterman did.
The twins will most likely be produced as Sweets. But sharp eyes
on the scale Cub Stand photo might catch a glimpse of a prototype Waterman
Twin. Denny says he will likely produce less than 10 of them.
