I put a Merc 1000 powerhead in a Merc 800 DR lower with a speedmaster. Used the 800 starter so I had reverse. Boat was a rocket. When I broke the swivel pin in Pompano, a friend who was there said I was first outboard. I went in their camper, they gave me a sandwich and a drink, and Dave Craig came by in the Switzer.
