1100 Mercs, if I remember correctly.

Btw, I'd HATE having to FEED a pair of those.

Can you imagine the "SYMPHONY" of sound coming from those? Not sure of the year, but Ethyl (premium) gas was probably what, $.40 a gallon back then? Even so, what a blast that must have been!

Maybe find some pics (?) on Switzer Wings and- Vintageraceboats:

If they didn't race that one, they should have! LOL

Apparently that address does not exist anymore. But at Highway 12&18 on the Yahara River is Rutabaga Paddle Sports with a nice cove behind ithttps://maps.google.com/maps?q=madison+wisconsin&ll=43.046487,-89.326589&spn=0.003243,0.005236&hnear=Madison,+Dane+County,+Wisconsin&t=h&z=18. Look it up on Google maps. You can see lots of kayaks and stuff. My guess would be where that boat launch is close by.

Still at the same location on the Yahara River between Lake Monona and lake Waubesa. I purchased fuel at their gas dock last summer! Andreas Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
