Great to hear. I'd been wondering when you'd have another video up of the Meteor and I guess you have the material for it now. I'm always impressed at how relaxed my 52 Merc sounds on a smooth highway at 60 mph. The Mercomatics got the lower numerical axle ratio. 3.31 as opposed to the 3.73 in a standard. 4.10 in overdrive equipped Mercs. So your Meteor would be turning quite a bit higher rpm if the overdrive was not engaged.
