[jon66w]

THIS IS AD I'LL BE PLACING ON E BAY IN NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.


1956 REAL MERCURY 55H FOR SHOW OR CLASSIC RACING
All numbers match with original serial plate, #984298. All original except owner/West Coast racer converted to Factory upgrade to Tilllotson KA7A carbs in 1959. Rebuilt to factory specs by Wienandt March 2004. Std. bore and 120+ psi compression. Foot rebuilt by Ron Thomas. Original chrome factory steering bar. Raced twice, Wakefield Nationals, with less than 2 hours running time since rebuild. Restored to original factory 1956 paint scheme. Absolutely perfect to show but should be run as it’s a strong engine. Would be perfect for Classic racing. Asking $4500 by PayPal. Must be picked up in Greensboro, GA.
I also have full sized Frame patterns for a 50’s Sid Hornet DU and a Stippich 1969 DSR available. Also many 2 & 3 blade SS DSR props available. Jon K Walters

Very nice restoration..... Keep it as a show piece.

Thanks for nice compliment but I'm 77 and finished with all my racing equipment and concentrating on my antique Chris-Craft's

[DeanFHobart]

What models and years of Chris Crafts do you have? A number of years ago I restored a Century Resorter, mid 1960's year. They were the official Tournament Water Ski Boat before the Master Crafts that showed up in the 1970's.

Bump Any interest before going to E Bay

I'm looking for some outboard stands like those, mind sharing where you got them?

[jon66w]

West Marine has a heavy duty dolly made by Garelick and Amazon has an assortment. None now available like mine as I bought them on a clearance sale a few years ago from West

[jon66w]

Did the 55H ever sell?

Yes it did for asking price

[jon66w]

I have a pristine 44 ci blue printed by Wienandt on 55h tower and foot with less than 2 hours on it. Send me your e mail and I'll forward you details and pix.
