I had several old boats as I remember. A Marchetti hydro and a Sidson hydro. One had a KG7 Merc and
the other had a Merc 55H. Sidson really did well with the 55H.

Old Sidson with the Merc 55H ran easily in the mid 70's. I got thrown out of it once
when I hit a cruiser wake.

What does this rig do? I've got a '02 18'7" Pulsare bowrider with a '00Johnson 225 H.O. that says 82 on the dream meter downhill in cold weather up here! Has a 26" Raker/CLE lower unit with 5" setback on a CMC hydraulic lift!

Motor was a hybrid that I built and never quite got a handle on it.
Ive owned and sold a bunch of boats in my life but that’s the one I should have kept.
21’ Starliner.
Very rate Checkmate.
That motor still sits in the corner of my shop and mocks me every time I walk past it.
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

The old days but on grass w/a mod Ski=Doo!https://www.screamandfly.com/images/smilies
Reminds me of the " plumbing" that I used to have on my 650 MOD Grass Drag Ski-Doo in 1974.
I would post a pic but my ex has most that stuff. Sorry!" Nothing's too good for me...That's why I get so much of it."
