Norwegian traditional Fishingboat with Sabb - engine

Good vid. Do you have any footage of those old single cylinder norwegian boats ? They made a "TONK-TONK" noise and were popular in the 30's and 40's.

That's a very nice sound. Do they still build them like that?

:o( Sadly no! The last engine of this type (G-model, 1-sylinder, 8-10 hp) buildt was in 2001 or 2002. But this was one of the longest production-line in Norwegian marine-engine history. The prototype stems from as far back as the late 50's - so I was told. In the 60's the engine really "took off" becoming very popular amongst fishermen, because of its simlicity, sturdines and ease of maintenance.

Many thanks for the information!

I am a fan of the older single and twin cylinder sow speed engines.

Are the Norwegian types still available on the used market?
