Chrome.....these are getting harder to find by the day
This one is right out of the box and new with a factory warrenty.

George, yes its in the X boat.
The Round thing is the Flame arrester on the scorpion engine.

Ted, it was not on the schedule, but since I missed the 1,000 Islands, it is a possibility.

By the way, I like your choice in colors for the X-18.

Ted,

-------In case you havent already I would check the roller-lifters and make sure there are no big-block ones in there anywhere. "You know who" may have treated both of us incorrectly but they had nothing to do with the two big-block roller-lifters that were in my motor. Mercruiser themselves made that mistake and a pretty high up guy within Mercruiser warrantee said I didnt have the only one.........Bill S

Thanks Bill, that was the first thing I checked when I bought it. BTW, it is under full factory warrenty from Mercury starting when it goes into the water...
