    1960~70 Mirrocraft Ski 'N Troll Restore, First boat and I've got tons of questions!

    Update! After doing some digging and talking to the VP at Mirrorcraft I've discovered this boat is NOT a Ski 'N Troll at all. As it turns out it's a Mirrorcraft Titan 15. Possibly a 1969, but I'm leaning towards 1970. We found almost this exact boat I have listed in the 1969 catalog at the...

    Mercury Thunderbolt 500 50HP, starter won't do anything.

    I just bought a used Mirrocraft with a Merc Thunderbolt 500 on it. The starter won't even try to engage at all. The person I got it from is a family friend who ran this boat last season without issues. He actually says he started it a couple days before I came to pick it up and it turned over...

    Just bought my first older boat! Has a 1974 50HP Merc on it, anything I should check?

    I just bought a old Mirrocraft 15 1/2 Trolling/Ski boat from a family friend. It has a 1974 50 HP Merc on the back. The ID tag is still on the motor, I can post any numbers etc later but the only things I saw on the motor were Mercury, 50HP and Thunderbolt Ignition. Is there anything I should...
