...2us70...the 9.8 Mercury Outboard in the ad is from 1964...if that helps...https://i.pinimg.com/originals/63/54...d7c0d94c0d.jpg
And that my friend is why I don't work on saltwater rigs, and under where birds roost. :)

I vaguely remember a picture of that thing with a couple of number boards on the sides. It might have been that summer. I ran my first Gold Coast with in 1964. I did the north run and my Dad did the south run. That was my dad's only powerboat race. I am glad I got to do that race with him. I still can't believe he let 17 year old me race our family boat in several races until I blew up his motor.
