    Kevin that's a neat job looks very retro and tidy!

    I'd be very interested in top end and skier pulling comparisons if you can compare like with like. Greg

    Why not consider going with a 150 Evinrude E-Tec? Quite, no smoke, and sips fuel. Much lighter than a 4-stroke would be. I know it would mean new controls, but the ski team I'm with love the E-Tecs we use.

    Thanks Greg. Tried my damnest to get the newer hood looking retro. Started with an old Opti hood, took off old stickers and put a 1974 Merc Sticker Kit on it. The cost of the sticker kit will be paid for in about 8 hours of motor use and fuel savings.

    Hi Greg,

    Long time no talk. I’m looking to get in touch with you re/ an upcoming trip to Australia. I’ve lost your email but I’m hoping you check this site periodically.

    Cheers,

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin I check this site once or twice a year when I remember but glad I did and saw your post. I’ll send you a PM. Otherwise Facebook will find me. I’m in Launceston in Tasmania. Greg Hind
