There is always somebody.....

I think it's beautiful, the finest, most professional, restoration work I have ever seen, and a great service to the overall Classic Whaler community, keeping these famous boats out on the water and in the classic boat shows.

However, being a Merc guy, I don't like the look of the modern, over-styled 90 E-tec. I don't think it does justice to the classic boat and the work involved. An approximately period correct completely remanufactured 2-stroke, whether it be Merc or OMC, would be a knock out on this boat, and for no more money, maybe even less. Such as one of these:

These boats should also have restored red Tempo/Mirax 12 gallon tanks.
