The single outboard hydro pic is of boat #69-W.

I will post the entire 1974 & 78 Merc Hi Perf catalogs in the Gallery section later this week/early next week.

Each has 20 plus pages to scan, size, clean up and optimize and is a lot of work.

Even Raceman will want to download these, now that I have decent software and training on how to use it we will all have images better than the originals they were scanned from.

I am still looking for the 1973 to borrow (or purchase if you have a good one to sell).

The images that go into the Gallery will be bigger and better than this:
