I got one of those with my '83 Merc 115. It's useless if you ask me. I'll damn near break the rope before I could any spin out of the engine, and forget about trying to spin it fast enough when cold to get it to fire.

Oh btw, when choosing a new floor material I recommend 3/8" 3 ply BS. Don't bother laminating either side. Aie Carumba ...!

Sorry Doug...I'm laughing with you...at least they used a saw.  My 'Git r done' floor was just a 4x8 sheet thrown on top of the exposed stringers...

I feel your pain!  How are the stringers?  Mush?

Jerry
