Let's See Your Vintage Motahs!

Here is a shot of my little cousin from a few years ago learning to drive the boat. Now she's my bid cousin! :D

The motor is a mid 60's 110 Merc 9.8 H.P.

I'm not sure of the year as the Canadian serial numbers are a bit different from the U.S. ones. Originally I thought it was a '69 but based on the color scheme, I think it's a '67 or so.

This is a a picture of my '63 Merc 100 horsepower outboard. It is definitely a classic and turns heads on the river. It starts easier than many newer engines and sounds All American! I personally cannot believe that it is over 40 years old! Nothing runs like a Merc!

Hey JW, I just added a new section to www.uniqueboat.com (http://www.uniqueboat.com). This section allows people to list boats or parts that they have for sale along with their asking price and contact information. I hope that you do not mind, but I have used your Evinrude outboard as an example on my Boats/Parts for sale home page.

If you would like, I will add your contact info and asking price into the information free of charge. Send it to john@uniqueboat.com

I invite all to check out this new section. The price has never been this inexpensive to list a boat or part online.

That's a cool addition to the site! I'm not ready to list it for sale yet, I've talked to a guy about a trade. I've always loved the older Mercury motors when they were white, and an old outboard guy I work with has a 6 horse tiller white motor he's putting together.

Are those little trim tabs on the boat in post #4?
If so were do I get some?

[83PREDICTOR]

Hey J dub
I had an 18hp just like that.
It ran great for the two years I had it. In the late 90's

[Uniqueboat]

Those are in fact trim tabs on my G3. They actually came with the boat when I bought it early last year, but I can tell that they are needed. That is a big engine for that boat and they help to stabilize it and deal with prop torgue. These in particular are called step and trim, so I can step on them to get into the boat. I don't know what I would do without them. I have no idea where to get ones like that. Most nowadays are probably expensive and hydraulic.


NOW YOU CAN BUY OR SELL BOATS AND PARTS TOO!
