Re: Mercury TV Ads 50s 60s 70s
excellent stuff floater - enjoyed the 1968 Bahamas 500 video, that's the type of boats that were around when I started in the industry! Mona Lou III was a Bertram and the triple 1250 merc job was a Magnum - lovely! The Cigarette appeared the following year.

Merc 300 has spark! following a frustrating pulling apart of magneto, checking points, etc, etc, then getting the occasional kick-back (still have the scars on my right leg from my villiers motorbike days doing the same thing!) finally decided the problem must lay with timing. Most old Mercs are fac...
