Thanks Scott, it is a pretty fraud. it is a 1960 Mercury 400 supposed to be cloud white. The guy I bought it from was a fraud but the motor is in good shape now.

Hope the fraud part wasn't worse than just the color ... 'cuz I don't think the white would look as sharp as that red does. Very nice.

Nice.
How wide is that lock?
Makes the big boat owners cry doesn't it?

You all might like this too.
Discovered it about 5 years ago, never knew it existed despite spending many years on these waters.

The Burnt Rollways Boat Hoist to transport a boat from the upper Three Lakes Chain to the lower Eagle River Chain.

img_0521.jpg About 6'. Mark's boat is about as wide as u can go. The entrance to the river that leads to the dam is tough to see
Nice ride to the dam tho.

Wonder if Mark is coming up this weekend. Talking around 90.....
