Just got a call from Art. I gave him the bushings i ordered from merc for the rear engine mounts so he can press them in at the shop. Says the bushings wont go in. WTF. These damn rear mounts are pi$$in me off. I dont want to go to rear plate type mounts, because it will be a pain in the a$$ taking all that apart again, machining, starter issues, etc. HUUUUUUUHH

[DAREDEVIL]

It would look brand new other than the drives that will give it away..they stopped making them in 1957....LOL

I can see u are a very smart guy...LOL

They still make gears and all the internals for them + u never need anything if u check them once in a while .....what did u say u had on your boat ????

Nobody ever accused BZ of being smart, Scott, but I DO think he was just kidding!

No,NO,,he is dead serious.........LOL

I think that was due to the throttle man or the excellent set up the boat got at the Fountain factory.

Looks like you are making good progress Joe. I take it you got that other motor painted!
