I enjoyed this video . gets real good toward the very end 😂 .<br>Love my little Mercury 110 . 1978 runs Great. 9.8 hp. Perfect for a 12 ft. Valco.

How is it possible to use a photo of the 150 HO that is not the 150 HO G2?!?!?! Looks like what a magazine would have imagined it would have looked like.

Guauuu ,me ha encantado el vídeo.<br>Mi padre tuvo British seagull y lo cambió por un Suzuki 14 dt que aún tenemos y que salió buenísimo,no obstante se arrepintió de vender el British seagull porque eso lo aguantaba todo todo.

Bombardier is a French name not a responsibility on a war aircraft that drops bombs.

Interesting. A few bits of wrong info but overall good.

The 557 engine was designed by former Mercury Marine engineers and techs. The trans was a shelf item from zed F (ZF). It was existing technology. The Mercury, V12 was a variation of the 557, my opinion. Mercury management can be a little arrogant sometimes. I’ve met some at fun runs and tried to talk to them. No help. I’m an engineer with 30+ years old product design and know when I’m listening to BS.

The Chrysler 105 was the best engine Chrysler ever produced...reliable and powerful. BUT, it was NOT a Mercury built under license. It was a Chrysler 96ci block that ran almost forever.
