RE: omc-boats-digest V1 #102

Our dealership sold the Evinrude boats and other boats with OMC stern
drives in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Still have parts, parts books,
some service manuals and a few 1970 Evinrude boat part books in stock for
these older stern drives. Many are of the hard to find or no longer
available variety. I've retired and closed my retail dealership. Will sell
these at liquidation prices (1/2 of the last mfg. suggested list price).
Also some special tools for these engines selling at 1/2 plus an extra 5 %
off. Please email me directly and include your year, model number and horse
power with list of parts needed.
