Re: Looking for outboard for father/son building project

[David Stanton]

quote auldscott:

Mercurys are like barely tamed horses, urgent and barely civilized, but thrilling. OMCs are polite and capable (which does not mean boring). Exotics like Scott-Atwaters/McCullochs are a bit mysterious, but they are good performers.

I admire your creative descriptions, and they are right-on! Kind of sounds like describing 3 different girlfriends!….Now, wives have occasionally referred to outboard motors as’"the other women" because of the amount of time we sometimes devote to them.

I have to go now and attempt to fix a "Mysterious Scott-Atwater" for a friend.
