Re: dating engine

Let's see ... date a Mercury? They're kinda cold at first, but they do warm-up after awhile. But they keep spitting water all the time and if you lose control of them they just keep you going around in circles. Cheaper to keep than a woman, though. Plus you can choke and throttle them without going to jail. If we wanted kids I suppose we could adopt. But would I really want to marry a welfare motor? Especially when anyone with the key can turn it on? <br /><br />Welcome to iboats. That's the serial number. I don't have an exact year for you, but probably 79 or 80.
