I picked this old 73 1500 Merc for a song couple of issues to sort with him, im going to screw it on this old Pride Starfire, can anyone give rough estimate of speed, it has a nice Merc stainless prop, looks for all intensive purposes to never been in salt water, missing couple piddly parts but should easy to find, i plan on doing the dizzy up with new points, condensor, rotor, cap and leads, kit the fuel pump/s, do the water pump, thorough clean up, wants some wiring done where a cowboys been at it, carby would want a clean out I expect, plugs would want to go in the bin, might be worthwhile to pop the water jacket and decoke it, new coat of phantom black, decal kit, good for another 5 years, these are a good motor? I hope lol
