If you have one you think may be a Merc, let me know and I will narrow it down more. I am a ready buyer. Thanks, PHIL SPAID

Just went down and looked, but none of them are like that. I do however know of one on a different island but I think he said it was a '41. Not sure if that's close enough. It's got 4 thousand miles on rebuild, is totally correct heads etc, and sits in a heated garage. Was pulled from a beautiful '41 merc woodie. PM me if interested. To all of you that responded to this thread, thanks for all the nice comments and encouragement. I am blessed to live and work in such a beautiful and quiet place.
