Grant is sunning himself in Ibiza at the moment so wont be popping up but I think se7en is right.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Goin back to my dad's boat,no one can reconize it but the film quality is so poor im not supprised!! :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:
Thank you for raising the post again HOWSTAR,
One clue that I remember even though I was only 5yrs old (but i do remember alot of detail about it) was it had black neopreen(pimled) around the edge of the deck from the stern to the bow,I should imagine this was a cheap way out of finishing the cedar inlay in the deck to save running a cedar strip around,I think in those days the cedar inlay ply was off the shelf and would have had the inlay continuous in the lengh,anyway not sure if I have made myself clear,but just need to know what IT IS (the make)!! :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:
With best regards to you all from ibiza
Grant :perfect: :perfect: :woo: :woo:

That is a good thought Howstar,thank you for that,but I dont have that information or any access to that info that is required for the register,and I know I cannot get access to that info required,so please dont trouble yourself diggging out the website,I just need someone hopefully one day to reconize it,but I dont somehow think that will happen,
I know there were so many ply runabouts in the sixties,and this was just another 1 of many,
Any how,what made you come across the vid I posted on U-Tube???
My best regards
