 Liberty LT's...
Weather is not be cooperative this morning, so I was messing around looking for ideas for my boat - and somehow came across this. These are from the early 1920's, and not the 1st brand designed like this - if they had only targeted the duck hunting market stead of rowboats...

 Re: Liberty LT's...
Pretty cool. Women look so much sexier when they are carrying a mud motor.

Say it ain't so! Warren Coco wasn't the first to design the American longtail? Giga is never going to show his face around here anymore!

 Re: Liberty LT's...
Them old timers were pretty innovative.... I have a couple of "coffee table" hunting books with inboard mud skiffs that date back to the 1920's too.... Those hand spun flywheels were bound to be some real knuckle busters on those 2hp and 3hp motors - LOL

 Re: Liberty LT's...
After seeing the 2 part show from avian-x that featured a hunt with the godevil crew and some interview time from Coco I wouldn't hesitate to buy shit from that fella. Seemed to be about as stand up as they come. It was awesome to see how he talked about his special needs son too.

 Re: Liberty LT's...
There is one of these in a local museum up here that someone found in an area bog. I would get a picture but it closes after Labor day.

 Re: Liberty LT's...
Stand up guy for sure. He sells quality parts and don't skimp on anything. I purchased a handle the other day and even the zip ties that come with it (for attaching throttle cable) were the ones with the metal tab and not the plastic one. If he's as meticulous as to putting quality zip ties on something I have no issues with buying anything from him.
