discontinueddecals.com/store/c/35-Vintage-Mercury-Decals-1930-1990.aspx?Attribs=55 I believe 67 and 68 were 6 hp. 69 was a red decal 7.5. 70 and 71 had black with red accent stripes on the 7.5hp. We owed a 71 for about 35 years. Great motor. Sold it to another fisherman because I bought a 20 hp because more people in a bigger boat.

I do remember a red striped 6 hp that Dadâs cousin had . That would make it later than 67 I would think??? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
