    '60 Merc 300 & '64 Merc 350 Compatability

    I am working on restoring a classic '60 Merc 300 for a classic '66 13 Whaler. The 300 has been in a barn for over 10 years and supposedly serviced/rebuilt before it was put away, but on initial couple of hours hooking up to a battery there is no sign of life from the old original controls...

    Michigan Prop Identification

    Today I picked up a really nice little 1960 Merc 300 outboard to pair with my recent find( 60's Boston Whaler). The lady also included the proper controls, a spare set of older Merc controls and two extra props. One might be useable as a spare for the Merc but the other is much bigger and in...

    Starting a 54 Johnson 25 after 20 years

    Hello all, I recently was very fortunate in picking up a 1955 (Thompson maybe..the jury is still out) molded mahogany plywood outboard boat that had sat in a barn for 40+ years. It originally had a 25hp Johnson Seahorse that was in the barn but rusting away so bad I left it and the pre-50's...

    Name This Woody

    I just purchased this wooden boat that was in a barn for the last 40 years or so. The guy told me he has a registration but he is still looking for it. He said it was a 55 Thompson. I am starting to doubt that. You'll notice that someone wanted to match the look of his tow vehicle and crafted...
