Mercury

THIS IS A VINTAGE 1967 DESILVA, 22-U MERCURY RACING RUNABOUT ( HULL # 67015 ) COMPLETE WITH A 6 CYLINDER MERCURY RACING ENGINE. THIS IS THE FIRST LISTING OF A COMPLETE MERCURY RACING / HYDROPLANE COLLECTION DISPERSAL. HERE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD: 22-U WAS RACED ON THE WEST COAST IN THE LATE 1960'S / 1970'S AS AN F-CLASS ALCOHOL BURNING ALKY LOOPER. THE BOAT WAS RETIRED IN THE LATE 70'S AND ADDED TO A LARGE PRIVATE COLLECTION WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE LAST 30+ YEARS. THE BOAT MEASURES APPROX 14'-5" IN LENGTH AND APPEARS TO BE IN NICE SHAPE ( DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SPLITS / CRACKS IN THE VARNISH) BUT OVERALL LOOKS VERY NICE. THE ENGINE IS A MERCURY MARK 78, INLINE 6 CYLINDER "SUPER MARATHON", 66 CI WITH 3 EXHAUST STACK / MEGAPHONES AND KA12 CARBS. THE LOWER UNIT, I'M TOLD IS A QUINCY TYPE MID SECTION WITH A SPEEDMASTER GEARCASE. THE ENGINE IS SET UP TO RUN ON PUMP GAS AND IT RUNS VERY NICE ( BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO'S). THIS IS A COMPLETE PACKAGE INCLUDING DEADMANS THROTTLE, STEERING, FUEL TANK AND TRAILER.
