    In the mid 1960's, I remember my dad banging on a steel prop to put a cup in it for a Merc.

    For the racing models, but not fishing/pleasure. Speedmasters and Quicksilvers, not Fleetmasters. Never saw a steel prop for a '61 Sportmaster either

    AND - the 1ooo should be ALL BLACK.Its sister 850 was the last Merc with white.

    Look magazine does a 1960 cover story on Mercury Lake X.

    Power Cat endurance test boat is featured on magazine’s cover and, one of “Golf’s Toughest 18 Holes” is not.
