Well it is not a Frankinmerc resto but it is my latest re-store.

Everyone have a great Christmas!

Darrell

Nice work, what boat is this motor going on

It is a customer motor, I am not sure what it is going on.

Darrell,

That's one sweet looking tower... nice work!

Where did you find such clean trim and faceplate? Usually all the anodized stuff is very beat up.

All the aluminum gets sanded buffed & polished. About 3 hours in the front face plate alone.

Outstanding, kudos that's a great looking motor!

Looks beautiful Darrell, and I'm sure it runs as good as it looks! Nice job.

Awesome Darrell!!!
I continue to bow to your fine quality work.
I'm gonna hafta hear more about the steps to bring such luster to the faceplates.
Too sweet!

Very nice, love the contrast with that white stuff on the ground.
I had a 64 Merc 1000 a couple years back that I got for cheap.
It was my guinea pig, as it was the first motor I ran Amsoil 100:1 Sabre oil in. Was pushing a ton of Skagit 20.
Smoke went to nothing, and just a hint of smell although the smell was not nearly as pungent as normal TCW3 oil.
That motor is still pushing a big Bell Boy up here running on 100:1.
Stacks are nice, have a friend/fellow FG'er picking one up connected to a Skagit tomorrow.

Hello Darrell! The motor is going on a 17' AristoCraft Funliner !! Dave
