Not much of a picture, but here is a picture that shows a new Easthope engine that I installed in 1983.

Hello Ned, your Easthope is one of the last engines made by the looks of it as indicated by the Jabsco rotary water pump. The older engines had piston pumps also, the carb is updated (use to be Schebler) and the groove in the flywheel for a starter/generator. There were about a dozen 4-6hp's made from 1981-83. I'd be interested in the history of your setup as a handfull of these newer engines went to Rhode Island and a couple to Kentucky.......Joe

Joe, are my eyes fooling me or is there no 'shoulder' on the water jacket at the bottom? ie: the jacket extends right down to the mounting flange for the cylinder?

Yes Robert, that's the new cylinder. Easier to pattern I suppose. Note also the new head that has no bead around the circumference where the head joins the cylinder.

I know I am at least six years late to the party but I only found this site yesterday while searching for a picture similar to the Easthope I once owned.

I need to find the few pictures I have of that engine, scan them and then I will post them for the enjoyment of all.

Crap! It looks like I am also about six years late! Only I am late in replying.

That Easthope that I installed in the launch above was in Rhode Island. (Your info is good joe!) At the time I worked in a commercial shipyard that also built reproduction 'cir. 1890 fantail launches'. We built them with steam, electric, or gas power plants. The gas engines were the Easthope, the steam were Semple (as I remember) and the electric were the guts out of old golf carts that I converted. The hulls were hand layed up glass, we/I did the finish capentry and I installed the power plants.
