Seems to be gone. One big "downer" is that they had posted scans of old old catalogs--old like me LOL. I just sold a 16' 58 Crestliner "Flying Crest" which was way too much for me to handle on local ramps, and still have my fun little 12' "decked bow Commander' as well as a 15' Voyager. The Voyager should be refurbished, but I ain't picky. At my age of 73, what's the point. I might need the money
My short story is, I was born and raised in a small town, and my Dad worked for the local NAPA store. The owner was a boater, and held the Johnson franchise. Dad was pretty much the Johnson mechanic, along with occasional Scotts, Elgin, and others. The town had a local Merc dealer, so he avoided them. Anyhow I've had a spot for these girls, and have been having "fun" screwing with old OMC outboards. I do have a couple of various parts Eska/ other branded, as well as a small air cooled Elgin No Mercs!! I'm kinda' a Mopar guy and if I get it running I have a 55hp twin Sea King built by Chrysler
