New engine for Lil Walkabout - Johnson 9.9hp

I forgot to post this picture before, but here is the new engine Johnson 9.9 hp. 

I have installed the high-thrust propeller on it to help move the heavy boat. The boat has 3,000 pounds of lead in the keel. 

The high-thrust propeller and the relatively small engine will not get me anywhere fast. 

One day I had to get out of the marina in a very tall northern waves and the engine had no problem.
