Fishermen
Still On Top
Although the average guy
with a yen to get away from it
all and heave pork chunks at
weed beds won’t believe it, the
angler is still “top dog” in the
marina field.
National statistics indicate
that fishing is still the most im
portant reason for investing in
a outboard motor. In a recent
popularity poll, anglers ac
counted for 42 percent of t h e
votes, pleasure boaters were
second with 28, water skiing
acounted for almost 20 per
cent, and hunting and racing
took care of most of the rest
of 1959 purchases.
What the statistics don’t re
veal is the exact use to which
such motors purchased will be
put. If you could examine the
operational records at the end
of a season, the figures would
show that fishing is of far
greater importance.
Today’s modern power plants
have tremendous versatility.
Mercury’s 22 - hp fishing mo
tor has sufficient power for wa
ter skiing, and the more power
ful motors have such a wide
range of performance they are
excellent for trolling at a snail’s
pace. There’s no doubt that
fishing accounts for much of
their operational time.
There are three million more
outboard motors in use now
than in 1950, Mercury says, and
such sports as water skiing and
cruising are growing in popu
larity. This Is borne out by the
fact that 20 percent more mo
tors were sold for fishing in
1956 than last year.
Despite the trend in motor
sales, the angler still has the
most important voice in the
outdoor recreation field. And
it looks as though he will have
the edge for a long time to
come.
The fisherman is still on top.

ficiency in direct ratio as it
increases speed. These propel
lers will operate in the super

high velocity) where present
propellers lose efficiency and
speed.
3. A “pump jet" boat which
would add to boating and water
skiing safety by enclosing a
propeller within the boat’s in
terior.
“The future of pleasure boat
ing looks bright,” states Popu
lar Boating in reviewing these
prospective developments. But
the magazine warns:
“The (boating) industry can
no longer hope to stay ahead
without employing highly
trained engineers and scien
tists.”
