  • Here’s a nice clean original West Bend based 7.5hp Commodore. Since making this video I found out from Peter Hunn that this brand engine would have been available at some hardware stores back then…interesting. This is a peppy little guy that is fun to run. I like how light and compact it is.

    Very nice. Ugly as sin, but i absolutely love the retro look. Today, nothing has any character. But this ol girl has buckets of it. Well done boatie brother from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

      You should see the little 5hp Force single go that I posted.

    Very cool. Nice that you have the Commodore version. Those are not very common since they were only made for three years. I have the 10hp Commodore. Thanks for sharing!!

      I’ve grown very fond of the Commodore and Firestone varieties of West Bends.

      @@GearHeadJP I like both of those as well as some of the Elgins and the West Bend branded ones. They're nice motors. Well built and uncomplicated. I wish parts were a bit more available.

    I have a 59ish 7.5 Elgin that works the same way. It looks like a giant mail box.

      Those little Martins sure do run nice once gone through though.

    That throttle lever is quirky
