This winters project motor.
Barring any problems it will spend a good
part of this summer on the back of the boat.

Beautiful Job!  Lets go for a boat ride!

I have one of those twist-grip throttle controls on my KE-7.  I bought the motor because it had that!  Great accessory IMHO…..

[Tubs]

Same reason. If it didn’t have the twist-grip
throttle I probably would have passed on it.

Tubs, that motor looks really mean, sharp looking, and beautiful
all at the same time! Great Job!
Hope to see it on the boat soon!

Prepare to be boarded!

Hi Tubs.

I would love to see your motor, but I can’t see the pictures…..just shows a grey screen with a pixled face.

I can explain why you don’t have access to
the video Monte. Try going to You Tube
and searching the video title –
Mercury KF-7 “White” Lightning – First Run.
Look for this image.
