The old boat sets always mentioned that there were model motors not made by LEGO
that could be added to the sets and the hulls were equipped with attachment points
for them. Does anyone know what they were referring to or has anyone ever seen
one of these motors? The double hull speedboat set is the only one I know of
that came with a motor (made by LEGO) and the newer city themed boats no longer
have the attachment points and don't mention them.

This has been mystery to me since I was a kid, and now with a pretty extensive
boat collection myself and the power of the internet I still can't find them
referenced anywhere.

This one maybe 48064c01

I remember my young childhood days playing in the bathtub with boats that had

x149 Boat, Keel Weighted 8 x 2 x 4
Parts: Boat

. My neightbor friend had a motor that could attach to the bottom of
these keels. I always thought the handle bar at the bottom was intended for just
this purpose. Unfortunately I don't know more about the motor.

Hey

I need help... And I hope I dont write on wrong topic in here.

I have some strange dark Gray... its like its more gold/yellow in the color,
I attach a picture of what I mean... The Plate 6x8 should be normal Dark bluish
gray... Can anyone tell me if there is some old gray ... or if thoose lego pieces
are bad and just to through?

Thanks in advance
Johan

That wedge doesn't seem to be existing in dark gray color,
Brick 2 x 2 x 3 seems to be existing in two sets in dark gray color, you can
check if there are additional distinctive parts in your bulk lot
75 2 x 2 x 3 slope (if I'm seeing right) will tell it's age if it has
solid studs or hollow studs... according to catalog it doesn't exist in dark
gray color with solid studs...

ps: I might be wrong in any or all of the above guesses since it's just 1.5
years that I'm into Lego.

I'd guess the original color was dark grey, not dark bluish grey - whatever
happened to them... Do you have anything in DG to compare them to? I'd guess
they are discolored, mostly because I never manage to show the difference between
dg and dbg so clearly on pictures...

No need to throw them away. You could always sell them as filler bricks.
