Seaswirl is or was a brand produced by or bought out by Striper Boats, a
mid-west company. I've seen a good number of Seaswirl Boats over the
years. Gotta be pretty brave to buy a 1972 model with an I/O.

Well at least it’s a mercruiser and not an OMC stringer



I have a really vague and fading memory of my dad getting in to the
store and selling a couple of OMC stern drive boats in the early 1960s,
maybe my memory of the date is wrong, but I do remember the boats and my
dad and his chief mechanic cursing at them that year and in the
following summers when I returned home from college. They were nothing
but trouble, requiring endless service calls, and I recall my dad saying
he had to threaten OMC or Evinrude to get compensation for out of
warranty service calls that he didn't feel his customers should pay for
because the products were so failure prone. Maybe that's where my
disdain for I/O's started.
