Bad experience with white mercury, stayed in shop a lot
Cutter boat was ok, full v could turn on a dime, the cable steering was a nightmare, had the cable come off pulley running maybe 25 took a ride up on bank
It was time period, hard to find a decent fishing boat. This was pre bass boat era .fished out of this ski boat till i could do better
Thankful that sears store opened in athens. Got a 12 foot jon with 6hp gamefisher and never looked back. Lake hartwell was new then and everybody had to have a ski boat. Most of the old timers still fished with cane poles on the bank.
Felt that more fish could be caught away from shore. Ditto the zebco 33
