And not pursuing the Mariner was a couple of other stories. Come to find out Fred had put 4 pistons in it back when he had it. The last guy that had it (who died) put two pistons in it. We got to worring about all these replaced (burned) pistons, plus the fact the starter was dragging, knowing the carbs are varnished and the water pump needs replacing, a linkage is broken and if all is right with the world maybe only repainting the motor will get me in the water, not to mention the trim wires were bare. Couldn't help it, I'm partial to OMC or BRP or who ever they are this week. ;) ;)
