It brings back a memory! Back in the early 60's my grandfather picked up a Scott Atwater 10HP outboard that ran great in a garbage can at home. My dad rented a row boat at Victoria Pier and we set out for Sandy Point. Near where the boat ramp is located we stopped forward progress but the motor was still running. Dad tilted the motor out of the water and to his and our suprise the gear case had broken off. That was the end of our boating.

We got home and we got a NEW (left over) 1963 Evinrude 10HP That was a fun little motor.

If some one wants to dive the area there is a old prop on the bottom.

I also saw a car and trailer that had backed down the ramp and was completely under water.
