They look great Jim.

You could also find matching face plates if you wanted them to really be twins!

(I know, the upper cowl too!)

There is nothing like those old Mercs. They are like art. They put the stickers on my plastic cowl to shame.

CLASS pure class.

Which brings up a subject. At the ACBS International Show on Table Rock Lake in Sept there will be a special field trip for those arriving early. It appears the largest private collection of outboard motors is right here on Table Rock Lake. The man has over 800 operating motors and working to get to 1000 before he goes home to the Lord. He does not like folks knowing about the collection. We had to bribe, coerce, beg on both knees and make absolute fools of ourselves before he would agree to let only 50 people come thru his warehouse. Everymore motor is spit shined, tagged and in operating condition,

CANNOT wait to see this.

I hope someone can manage to get at least one picture of the place Dave.

So Retroman which one was the one you are going to let me adopt? :lol: Great pair, your kids clean up nice.
