Nice job restoring that Mercury. Hopefully you will get your shop set up in the new house and find time to work on projects. Something satisfying about taking something old and neglected and making it like new. My past projects like that were an old wood radio with tubes, 11' racing runabout finished in varnish and epoxy paint with 22 HP Mercury that would do 35 MPH, 87 Celica GTS liftback, rocking chair, the interior and carpeting in the Glastron V-153, and the three gas tanks sandblasted and powder coated. Wish I had more shop area (just a small work bench in the furnace room) over the winter. Oh well, all the rooms in the house need painting, and that may be the winter project. Hopefully win some points with my wife for some more boat projects next spring.
