Great find there Smoke. Love the old tower of power Mercs. Boat looks great. Where you gonna be boating on the Ohio River. I generally take a couple runs in the fall season between Lawrenceburg, IN and Cincinnati, OH or Madison, IN area.

You are not gonna have any money in that rig at all. LOL Making the rest of us look like we been duped something fierce. Nice score indeed. Your boat looks real nice. I have a few miscellaneous items in the shed. Deck plates, battery trays, maybe a gauge or two. I think the handrail will fit after seeing the pictures. Bust Out Another Ten. instead of Thousand. That is refreshing, Way to go. I'm thinking twin towers o power...

awesome, thanks..... yeah I'm poor but stubborn and creative so I just keep plugging along till it's done lol

my last project took two years of scrounging craigslist to complete but this one looks to be coming together much faster...

twin 115's are tempting as heck but I'd probably need to find another parts motor for that so I'll stick with a single for now and see how it works out. I keep reading on here that these hulls really don't want to go fast anyhow. although I DID read the 12 page "hitting 60" thread... nice!
then there's my big reason for picking this one up.... Fuel economy..... I HOPING that this single 115 will perform decently and do much better on fuel than the 1mpg I'm used too.
