The old merc. SC motors like to burn fuel.....
Make the first half, stop for lunch and get fuel, problem solved

I worked on gas option 2years ago. The only way I found to use a barrel of fuel was to have boat out of water on trailer. But you can call ward brothers and asked them what they would allow.

Some more pics from Phil. If you have been down on the South Arm this is the house that Merillat built. He owned Merillat Cabnets, to my understanding he sold the Company. He keeps several boats in the boat house. Cool place.

I must have helped pay for that house over the last 20 years. Merillat is just about the only line of cabs. I/we've installed over that time.
