I wanted to mount it in the rear of the boat - just didnt have the clearance needed to do it. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

I guess the true test will be when its in the water at night. I was pleasantly surprised at the results of my indoor test. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

The gel looks prime Even though I did opted for black,the red rub rail is very distinctive and a reflection of the style of the time. The telescopic white beacon is a very nice touch. I may have located it to the Starboard stern gunwale. Good work Scott. Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

Could be a pretty dumb question but hope to get some knowledge by asking it. Twin 75 HP motors, WHY? Am I wrong to assume that just a single 150 HP would be lighter, more economical on fuel and push the boat just as well? From my point of view, and I don't think it is right, but the only real advantage I see to twin motors is if one fails. They do look pretty sharp but I am thinking of all the duplicate stuff that goes with having two and it sure seems like an expensive alternative to a newbe. I suppose you could spin around in circles real well but what other advantages are there by having a twin set up? Thanks for a good lesson. Gary

If I had twins I could have easily motored back on one. Thankfully I was able to limp back at idle to safety on what i had - but with ferrys and tour boats all over it would have been nice to have the power. So I guess it really comes down to security. I thought new 4 stroke power would give me that security - of course a hole in the oil filter will change all that. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

It wasnt leaking for the first 3 hours I ran it. I can only assume the heat of the long run caused a crack to open up where the filter had been damaged. It could have been much worse. At one point were were pretty far from the ramp. We made it back on our own power (very slowly) and got an escort from a 22 Outrage Cuddy owned by Dan (themclos).Thanks Dan! Did have a few other boats escort us part of the way. I will be posting pics on Monday when I get back. My camera battery died and I don't have the charger at our shore home.
