I don’t think I could carry it into my basement, either. Just for the record, in the foreground is a Kiekhaefer-built, Thor-based Sea King…..basically the very first “Mercury,” next to the new Mercury 600 V12. You can’t see all of them, but there are four 600s on that transom.

Long live American manufacturing!

United States has the highest concentrations of Billionaires on the planet.  Much cheaper to buy and operate than a twin engine executive jet. If you have the means to spend a little to enjoy life, go for it. Putting  money into circulation creates pay checks. As Mae West said, “Goodness has nothing to do with it!”
