It is just a gusset that was added when the mid was shortened. Probably didn't need it but a little added strength couldn't hurt. My brother built this mid years ago. It has a lot of hours on it with no problems. My brother is a outboard mechanic here in Key Largo at Bill Markeys. He is a pretty good welder too.

I used to work at keylargo harbor with jimmy.......

**DavidW** · 03-16-2009, 03:15 PM

Yes he worked there before Markey's. How did you know it was Jimmy?

The W in your last name I just put 2 and 2 together. Tell him Virgil says hi! I remember seeing his crossflow when he had it on the little green/blue boat and he ran the seebold chopper looking prop.

**DavidW** · 03-16-2009, 03:40 PM

Cool, that was a while back, it is amazing someone remembers it from back then. The prop was a 28 yamaha drag worked by seebold. He still runs around in that boat but he has a v4 on it now.

**Reaction19** · 03-16-2009, 04:13 PM

yeah i remember the v4 also, did he finish the lw pickup for it that was the last project i remember him working on before i was let go!

got a '89 merc 200 carb that stills runs like the day it was new. taking it off a 16 checkmate and putting it on a new tahoe tritoon. while i was tritoon shopping i picked up a '94 triad v-21 with a '91 johnson 225 ho and after running it a couple of times i think i'm going to like it as much as the merc.

so here's to salt and pepper!!!!

**DavidW** · 03-16-2009, 04:23 PM

He still hasn't put that lower on yet. They ended up closing key largo harbor for a little while. That's when he went to Markey's. They opened it up again after a little while but there are no longer any Mechanics.

**Reaction19** · 03-16-2009, 06:18 PM

yeah i know of all the people i worked with i had the most fun with jimmy, we used to throw rocks at each other and do donuts in the dive boats{ ask him about that}, and he helped me rebuild my mid and powerhead on my 2.5 200 their as well.

**DavidW** · 03-16-2009, 07:14 PM

Yes, I know about what went on over there.
