You're just getting personal about it Larry. They are all BAs
and most are fixable. My fixed up Viking II was really beat up and
reminded me of an old Dodge. Certainly can't fault Dodge for lack of
iron, I can Johnson though. Rust? well, Globe seems to be the
worst, but Johnson is not far behind- when metal prep was
considered. Have fun with this folks. Russ.

Russ,
Why would you call a Viking a Dodge? Personally, I think they're much
better than that ;>)
