I bought a Bombard C5 with a Suzuki D40 outboard many years ago. It has been sitting in my friends warehouse. I got it transferred to my garage this summer. Made a boat trip last weekend to a local river. The engine started easily and the boat kept the pressure. It's in good shape even though it was made in 1986.
Looking into making some small fixed next spring. Wooden parts need some lacquer etc.
