Nice find…you gonna need a race boat of sorts to run that as I do not think that will run on a 15 inch transom…
The Mercs of that era do pull over hard, nature of the beast. That is made for a very light race boat with remote steering as you have the steering bar.. that is good… Gearcases are unique, have that checked out, you won’t like the cost to repair one..
