Yeah, well microseconds after this shot was taken was a snapshot taken by Bob Carver with both 45's shearing off the transom and horizontal in mid air tethered by their fuel lines and steering cable. And the driver / pilot still looking forward completely unaware of what has just happened.:eek:

I'm pretty sure this is a Glastron Moli going nose up?:eek:

SJ Class

Yeah.......ran my Moli in SJ and kind of lumbered along hoping somebody would crash or break to finish in the top three. Wood SJ's were a lot faster. Somebody like Doug Pearl would probably lap you in a heat race. I always thought that a glass Moli would fly pretty good as along as you kept the nose slope level. Anything past that point and you were going over. I loved the ride "with a view". Never heard of anyone barrel rolling one? Pretty forgiving old girl. I miss her.:(

I tested a couple of Glass Molinaris set up for SJ and they were definitely not closed course boats. I would like to have run one in a rough marathon. I found them comfortable and pretty forgiving thus an easy marathon ride.

Original fuel line too...my 2nd outboard from my youth. On a 12 foot mirro craft, at 12 years old I was king of the river.

They really went well but hated working on them when used in salt water

carr brothers---rest in peace--

Here here, Gene
I distinctly recall the Sunday when we lost Val and Paul off the coast of Sydney. I was at the starting line in my 9ft fiberglass dinghy powered by a 1964 3.9hp Merc. I was about 15 years old, I think.
I distinctly remember the special sermon and kind words which were given by our Priest for the boys at our evening Mass, on that fateful day.

So it was Kiekhaefer Aeromarine (1954), before it became Kiekhaefer Mercury.

KAMINC was formed to sell the drones around 1950 and assumed ownership of the existing Kiekhaefer Mercury Outboard company at the time. It remained the holding company over Merc until the sale to Brunswick and was NOT sold to Brunswick; it was Carl's fallback when he was removed from Brunswick's Mercury Outboard company even thought initially KAMINC had no ongoing products in the early 1970's.

KAMINC may have also been the tool Carl used to take his uncle and cousins off the ownership books of Mercury Outboards.

1955 - before my time. That's the con rod line in the old building - when the South additon was added, con rods moved and this area became flywheels and cast iron - dirty cast iron dust everywhere. During the strike in '76 for a few days I was back spotfacing mounting holes on MCM V8 exhaust manifolds - dry. Would come out looking like litle black Sambo. When they brought the field guys in to work, guess what jobs we put them on - I think I went over to the nice oily gear line. Anyone want to hear my story about building a magnetic nail picker-upper for the driveways when the union guys started throwing roofing nails?

New subject: While refinishing my '87 M200 gearcase, I noticed this elongated raised area on the starboard side, kind of in line with the driveshaft, but at the lower edge of the torpedo. Any guesses as to what it is? (JFL put me up to this!)480441

Regardless of whether the gearcase was sandcast or diecast, the casting needs to be "fed" thru risers, gates and runners. The raised area might be the contact point for one of these foundry features. If the raised area seems to come and go on these gearcases it's an indication of how these castings were ground and cleaned prior to machining by Merc employees.

1960 to be specific. The Merc 300 was a 1960 only model. 1959 models were still Mark-somethings

Gear shift style, so its 1961 or later. 1960-61 DR had the starter button under the top of the handle and no fast idle lever.

...always had "Merl" on his uniform... Merlyn Culver...pasted away back in 1974. Mercury's first sales manager. he renamed elmer's thor outboards "Mercury" in 1940 at the new york boat show, with carl's permission. was kiekhaefer mercury's first outboard distributor, out of his dayton ohio shop, up until the mid-60's when carl took it away from him & another major hardware store distributorship in florida(gainesville), and began shipping motors directly from the factory to the dealers. this was when carl built the kiekhaefer st. cloud florida
"parts" (and engines)distribution building on 441 there & a couple others in key locations...
