I still have a complete Merc 115HP Tower of Power sitting in my shed. Love those engines. PITA to work on for some things, but at least you never had to worry about blowing a head gasket.... (They don't have heads). Only reason I don't have it hooked to a boat is that this one doesn't have power tilt and trim... so it's a pain to lift etc.... Still, they were great engines IMHO. It's nice to see old boats like this one.. Remember the ones with the big tail fins?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
