Hello Everyone!
Apr 23^rd, 2012 at 6:30pm

I am an old salty dog that suffers from an OCD. I like things clean and RIGHT. I work on Mercury products and have all the tools and diagnostics to care for Mercruiser engines, drives and Mercury 2 stroke Mercury outboards.

My boat Lucky is a 1985 10 Meter Fountain. I am currently restoring it to how it left the factory. It rides on its original Myco trailer.

This is what it looks like now.

Well if I could upload a local file I would show you. Anyway this is all I can share at present.

For those that care you can visit my race history website to view boats I have crewed and raced.

Worth every penny in my opinion. I have given out your number numerous times and will continue to, since most people I meet are in need of a mechanic when I meet them.
