Best looking outboard over the years

I have to say it's hard to beat this Mercury model
there have also been some sharp Evinrude designs over the years .. but their modern look is awful, IMO.

It may look nice, but its still a Mercury

I like the looks of the old stack Mercs.
I'm not a Mercury fan, but the Early Opti-Max cowlings with King Neptune's face on them were pretty cool looking to me.
I like the Evinrude E-Tec cowling with the American flag on it too.

Everybody around these parts liked it. I would come out of stores and restaurants and people would be standing around the boat looking at the motor and asking questions.
It was very quiet, but slow (only a 5 1/2). The old school fuel delivery system using a pressurized metal tank was a pain in the arse.

Thanks. I miss it sometimes but it stayed in the family.

Nice to see you on the OB R2R.
Always liked the merc stacks. My dad had one on the first boat I remember as a child.
