Lots of days of troubleshooting can be pretty rough on the old girls, but today was a breath of fresh air.
A sweet 1965 Mercury 6HP, that started first pull after maintenance, and a visit from one of my full restorations for maintenance on a 1961 Reinell.
I wish everyday went this smoothly.

Boo-tee-full Reinell, classic look with 4-cyl Merc on the back. The black 6hp is just Mint.

Those stripes on the black cowling wrap look purty dang good! And the 'Yota is looking very Sharp with the nice paint job, and do I spy some Linux spray-on bedliner in there? I have that in my Frontier and it's held up very well over 15 years.

Am actually taking in a boat to work on tomorrow, believe it or not! Just an old, Evil JohnRude, though!!
