Re: Best years for OMC 10 horse?

All this talk about 10hps fired me up to buy another one….So, I guess that makes four runners and three donors, guess I’m all set when it comes to 58 Sportwins…Now, I just have to sneak it out of the trunk and into the basement before heading off to work.

😆 😆 😆 On a trip to Rochester MN a few months ago, (daughter was at the Mayo Clinic,) My wife was staying at the Ronald McDonald house. I made that trip back and forth many times in that three months. On one trip, I made a slight detour and stopped by Jerry Blanchard’s place. I was looking for a 63-65 Merc 20hp lower cowl part. I ended up putting two motors, (a 64 & 65) in the trunk of my wife’s Mercury Grand Marquis. (Big trunk! 😉 ) I continued on to Rochester, and made sure to keep the trunk closed while I was there. I had Kevin help me carry them down the basement when I got home. 🙄

P.S. The 58 Sportwin is on my "Someday" list. The last two years I have passed up on some at our club swap meet. I don’t know how long I can hold up on my will power!
