    All right y’all, If you had a choice between a qd-23 and a merc 110( both 1962’s), which would you choose and why? I know the “correct” answer is both, but the budget doesn’t allow for it. LOL

    I appreciate the input!

    Well, that’s a no brainer. Go with the QD! Parts are readily available and they are quite easy to work on and no special tools needed! You also don’t have to remortgage the house to buy parts either.

    Here’s a ’63 QD-24 which was recently given to me and after some much needed maintenance, she’s a runner. A ’61 QD-22 was also given to me last year and it was in about the same condition as this one when it arrived. No video of it on the tube yet but it’s ready for a transom to.
