The engine was completely rebuilt by the person I bought it from. Crank, pistons, rods, bearings, seals, ignition, etc., everything was gone through and replaced if worn/bad. I believe he used at least a couple of donor engines to get some of the NLA parts. Contact Johnsoldmercurysite.com forum if you want advice, very helpful folks who are expert in these old Mercs, good luck!
Wow, that is super nice. That water is amazing!!
Thanks! That lake is a jewel in the Northwest corner of Washington, about 600' deep and crystal clear; very isolated too.
Badass looking boat!
Thanks!

Did you do anything special to the internals of the engine? I have one of those I'm deciding what to do with.
