Jerry:
Well the lady that was to pick up the Larson yesterday called me at 8 O'clock yesterday morning to tell me she was sick and couldn't make it. Today she sent an email to tell me she had changed her mind.
So I still have it. with a 7 1/2 horse motor.

Jerry:
Well, back to work on the Merc. I tried to get the lower unit on and it wouldn't go.



The exhaust tube on the long mid is a different size than the shorty.





Tear it all apart again. Back to the welder.

Jerry:
Well I found something out, and I'm glad I pulled this thing all apart. The shorty mid I bought was off a 85 hp 4 cyl, but I was told it was the same as the 150. The 150 is on the left. Guess they're not quite the same.



Got it all welded up and painted (first coat) I can start putting it back together again.

OleRed:
I wish you would have left it the way it was when it left here Jerry, and by Now, I'll bet you wish you would have too.

Jerry:
Not if it works. Although I planned on spending a couple Grand on the motor when I started, I'll be over three by the time it's done.
