quote Garry in Tampa:

Actually all you really need is the cover. It fit perfectly on my 75 lower unit with the 100 horse powerhead. That is essentially what I ran on a 14′ experimental Speedliner. I had a lot of fun with it. Nothing on the lake would touch it and with the cover Paded with a cut up wet suit you could not hear the motor at all. It prompted a lot of 6 cylinder Mercury owners to take there outboards in for a tune up . . . 😆

😆 😈 😆 Yes! This is what I want to do. I named my boat the Aluminum Falcon, so making it a sleeper would give it some credibility.

Incidentally I found a 68 100hp on a boat locally but I think I’ll wait. I’ve been bringing home and junking out to many boats lately and my neighbors are starting to give me looks. There was also a 58 fat50 listed today but it’s in Canada and I don’t want to pay that shipping bill for a motor, or take a road trip. So, still looking.
