1964 West Bend 50. West Bend was bought out by Chrysler, then was sold to US Marine as part of the first Chrysler government bailout. US Marine then sold it to Mercury, and they discontinued all ties and support for them.
They are decent, fairly simple motors for the most part. In addition to Laings, try http://www.franzmarine.com/ for parts.
