Mercury Through The Years...

Yes it was. This picture shows only the Mercury factory boats. Lots of other stackers that day. Chryslers too. The Marine stadium acts like a backward megaphone so it was loud all day long.

Motor is 1960 - 1961 and Sasquach is on the very right side of the picture watching the boat take off

'IT WAS!'----

Too bad AZMIDLYF is not using TinyPic on some of these great old pictures---

The year is 1972, the boat is the 36' Dry Martini

Mr. Kiekhaefer was making his own dual ram afterplanes, skeg-less lower units, tie-bars, gear drive accessory sections, stainless steel water-cooled headers ,etc--and winning a lot of races!!!
