Jeff will certainly like his new Merc. Good luck with the new homestead Jeff.

On another topic,... boatboy  I think you would like to see a picture of your old  OMC. The most prettiest OMC ever built....
This motor will be leaving my shop today and will be going on a 1956 FC Ranger. The motor ended up having 150lbs of compression on both cylinders.

She runs as good as she looks, all the chrome was redone too, I literally could shave by looking at the chrome trim.

Ray, it will indeed be a big change. That warm winter is so nice, but I have already been enjoying the cool spring temps. I could never stand the hot, hot Summers of TX, and winter snows are months away. 

I got my engine from Mark and it and the Vagabond made it safely to MA. I'm searching for a trailer to her off the lawn and hope to start back in on floors and reassembly soon. 

 

Yes there are several lakes in the area to put her in. Nothing as large as Watts Bar, but bigh enough to stretch the Mercs legs and cruise.

That’s going to be quite a weather change, seven years will get you acclimated to the short winters.
Do you have a good place to run that brand new Merc?

Yes. It was a good 7 years, but it's time to head home. Returning to New England, far wester MA. I'll be at Mercury Marc's tomorrow collecting my Thunderbolt.

Did it look like this? We passed the Woody Boater truck on the way to Leesburg yesterday and got a wave.

Somebody made woody boater.com today. They were caught towing their boat I’m guessing on the way to Dora
