Speaking of people who left do to the political garbage that is dumped in
wrecked.boats. Clams Canino says hello, He did some work on two of my
boats over the last week.

We took out the Phamton Menace II for a short run. That old in-line six
merc he has is pretty cool.

Your post jogged a memory flash in the old hard drive in my head. When I
got out of the Navy back in 1977 a friend of mine gave me an old six
cylinder Merc outboard. The thing was huge, but was only about 60 hp if I
remember correctly. It was black with a chrome band around the body of the
motor. I think it was of a mid to late '60's vintage. I built a stand for
it and stuck it in a 55 gal drum and it ran fine. The last I knew it was
buried somewhere in my father-in-law's garage. He never throws anything
away, so it's probably still there. I'll have to check if I ever get back
home.
