Well done and can't wait to see more!

Awesome, unique but perfect look!

That sounds like a fair price considering the work that's been done to it. I picked up a 1965 Merc 650 for $300 with controls, not running. After refurbishing it with repaired wiring, rebuilt carbs and fuel pumps, a tune up and rebuild of the lower unit I had about $1500 into it. It runs fantastic b...

Great progress, really coming together now! Interesting issue with the windshield, what brackets did you use and where did you get them? I wonder if the variation in the deck shape between the center and the outer brackets was a factor?

Interesting comments on your motors, especially the 69 Merc. I refurbished a 1965 Merc 650 for my Malahini build and was concerned it was maybe a bit too much. Now I feel better about that choice.

Looks awesome!

Great progress, excellent work!

Very sharp, this will look great once the finish is on. Modifying what the plan calls for is allowed, actually it's why we build our own boats
