We restored the boat 2 years ago (1960 PowerCat) but wasn't real happy with the performance of the (2) 61 700's, they were just to small. We just put together a pair of 62 Merc 1000's and now I'm a Happy Camper. The thing hauls the mail. It's an Animal:devil: The Power and Speed difference is just Amazing!!!
We still have some handling issues to sort out but it's a blast..
The motors look newer (took some artistic lisence) but I'm a big fan of the Merc red stripes and XS graphics.. We also made some modern performance upgrades to the lower units which allowed for them to get jacked up and run surface piercing "Choppers".
A Huge Thank You goes out to my Buddy Dick Davis (Dicksmarine) for all of his Help and Support
