Re: Which Outboard Engine Brand do you own?

i have recently obtained a 79 model champion bass boat with a 78 model Mercury 700 70hp thunderbolt. my grandad has an 82ish Terry bass boat with a 50hp mercury that he bought new. also, my cousin's grandad has an 82ish bass tracker with a 40hp mercury. i'm proud to be the new, old boat owner with the biggest merc in the family!

1996 Johnson Faststrike 115 (v60 looper) It will either be rebuilt or parted out over the winter. I also have a 120hp Merc of unknown vintage available to repower if I part the johnson.
