Nothing could be finer, though I wouldn't stick one on an aluminum
boat.
Looks like the old 5HP Merc that we had on the back of your 14 foot
lap-
strake boat. I was cruising along one day and the 70 year old boat's
transom finally succumbed to rot and the motor almost turned into an
anchor. luckily I was able to hold on to the handle and pull it back
from its potential watery grave.
Messing around in small boats...great fun.
The 1949 Mercury KF7 Super 10 Lightning in that video was more than 10
hp out of the box. Did you notice the retrofitted safety lanyard on
the motor?
I noticed you now spell the word "for", "Fpr"...
And Don won't correct Harry, because he'll get spanked. Or maybe he
won't correct Harry because he WON'T get spanked!!

Spank this, Kevin!
Loogiefaker and Larry are both on my do not read mook list.
