I was out at a sale a couple of weeks ago and came across this 1933 Outboard Motor Corp. 1 1/2 hp. motor made in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. It's a Super Single cast iron head and runs perfect. The serial number on it is 436III5. There are a few videos on YouTube on this particular motor. The Outboard Motor Corp. was formed in 1921. I'm trying to decide whether to restore it or just leave it as it is. I've seen several restored and they look awesome. As it sits in the mancave it's starting to grow on me to just leave it the way it is. Several people will argue that, should I restore or leave original. It's only original once. It's personal preference. Something a little different in the collection. I enjoy being a little diversfied in collecting.
