It is from Mirrocraft directly, again I was a bit dissappointed for the price considering they only will send you a piece that is a channel which will require bending to get the proper shape. In my opinion, if I had to do it again I would go to a local fabrication shop and get a piece of...

I was able to get the new motor tuned up. Plugs, ignition box, water pump impeller, gaskets and a good cleaning. Made a trip out yesterday but had to leave early due to a storm that blew in.

Thanks for the info. This project is on hold for a bit, going to be busy for a while so just planning on taking the Mirrocraft out.

Thank you again for the kind remarks on my build and best of luck with your own! :mrgreen: I was able to pickup a nearly two decades newer motor,that has seen little to no time on the water, at an auction this past weekend. 1975 Mercury 200 - 20 HP Under the hood literally looks showroom...

Thank you for the kind remarks. I used the scotch brite and CLR combination only on the top rails and areas I did not plan on painting, as I feared the CLR may give me problems later on when painting. Additionally, the painted areas really came off very easily with acetone and rags, it literally...

=D> Top notch clean quality craftsmanship. Again your build inspired me greatly. Speaking of which it, will be waiting until after our Kansas winter for me to start back on again. 8)

I am looking for windshield brackets. Similar to these pictured would be great or something close. Need to accept flat glass/plexi windshield. Two piece or one piece is acceptable. Reply to post with pictures and pricing or message me. Thank you!

Likewise... I am guessing mine will evolve into a winter and next year project.

Cool I dig it, Super clean! 8)

My great grandfather co-authored a book called Bait Fisherman's Guide. I can always recall reading about the Hellgrammite and Dobsonfly in the book. Was even lucky enough as a young kid to meet and have Harold Ensley sign a copy for me (only real connection between Harold and the book is fishing...

Watching some windshield brackets on ebay right now same as yours I believe. UPD plastics will make me a window but they were definitely proud of them... where did you get your tinted plexy and how thick did you use?

Do you like the bi-mini pretty well Bigwave? Also do you know of a good fitting trailerable cover for the 14' Mirrocraft Deep Fishermans? I am wanting to get one but am cautious of the standard "semi-customs"...

I was able to get the bugs worked out of the 1958 Mercury Mark 28, 22 HP. Running wide open with 2 people and gear I am able to hit 20 MPH. Running solo gets a little crazy not sure how much faster but it was enough to make me grin. :mrgreen: (not sure where my digital camera battery charger...

Just about snagged you a goose too! 8)

=D> Let's eat! :beer:

I am a fan of photo 2 and photo 4, and down to it 4 over 2. I think they compliment the style better and are more period correct. That being said I wouldn't be disappointed seeing any of them on her! :wink:

8) Sounds great, thanks for the update! :beer:

Water pump impeller, bearing just above the split in the lower unit, carb parts were missing (float, float bowl top, filter, filter cap), fuel pump work, and plugs were pretty rough. I got it put back together late last night and fired up but have some troubleshooting still yet to do. My place...

Few photos from the holiday weekend. Out on the water a bit and also worked on the 22 HP Mark 28.

Some people like them some don't. I do like them. Deep fried anyway, I have put some fish on the grill and it is okay but not like a grilled salmon by any means. Just my opinion though. No luck for my fishing trip today. Cruised all over the lake and didn't catch anything other than some small...
