I was checking out the latest adds on c-list and just had to buy this, after waiting a few weeks to let it ferment a bit.

The old Merc inline 6's are just too cool. This being a 1985 version.

An 18 SS is now needed.

It is against the rules to let a Tower Of Power sit idle in the shop! You better pick up an 18' SS or suffer the consequences! :D

Yeah the IL6's have a big following I've found since I got the 140 and they're easy to work on so far just the water pump but it was easier than a Johnny/Rude.

FB has a very active Merc IL6 community too.

Yeah, A TOP inline Merc. How can you not like them. I had one on my Bass Boat and it was certainly a power plant for sure. :thumb:

Note that this one per the S/N is a 1985, but it has the later 86-88 decals.
