    1967 Mercury 1100SS The fun begins!

    Mercury 1100SS The fun begins! I'm restoring a 1965 Glastron V-171 sportsman. The cool brochure pics from the day...see below...had my boat with a sweet 100hp Mercury on it. I got the boat sans motor and HAD to get the right one to get the look. I found a SWEET 1100SS 1967 Mercury. It'll look...

    1964 Mercury 1000 100 hp question.

    I'm restoring a 1965 Glastron V-171 Sportsman. I'm on the prowl for a Inline I6 somewhat period motor for it. I've seen a couple sweet prospects. Question is, IF the motors are in equal nice running shape...do the research and get a GOOD one...would it be preferable to get a newer one, late 70's...

    1965 Glastron V-171 Sportsman Restoration Many photos!

    Ok, I've started in on my sweet looking Sportsman. Yeah, the floor was soft, yes the transom came out with nothing more than a a pry bar and rudimentary tools. Soaking wet and in mooshy pieces. Stringers are next. It was fun taking off the splash well cap. It's not just sitting there, it's...

    BLACK 1967 Sea Ray SRV 180 I/O

    I'm in the middle of getting my 1967 Sea Ray SRV 180 I/O ready to try out. I got it last fall, and it's in pretty sweet shape. The only floor rot I could find was section just forward of the engine cover. Seems they drilled some holes in the floor for a block to keep the cover in place. I'm in...

    160 Mercruiser Reverse Flow Mod Necessary?

    I've read about the reverse cooling flow mod for the 165 Mercruiser Manifold so that fixes the manifold cracking problem. I get that, and it seems like a great idea, but I have a nice running Straight six 250 160 Mercruiser with the multipiece aluminum manifold. Does this setup need the mod...
