TRB the OMC 10hp motors of that vintage can be great runners. I have a bunch of them. The one I am running becomes my favorite until I get another one out! There are faster ten horse motors but that QD will plane a tin boat with two people in it and take you fishing with style. Sending a picture of mine. The leg has been painted the hood is original and it runs great. (it also has carbon plug wires in it don’t tell anyone)

When you come to a fork in the road…..take it! YB
