    Need Transport For An Outboard Motor: WI to NYC

    Hey, all. I'm buying a vintage 6 cylinder Mercury OB from a guy in Chetek Wisconsin, and I need to get it to me here in NYC.
    Any possibility of someone headed in that direction who could pick it up for me. I could pay some for the extra miles and expenses involved. Also could meet someone part way.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    It's a '59 Merc Mark 78A. It's going to go on a 14' to 16' Raveau type plywood runabout that I'm going to build.

    S+F is a good idea. Thanks, Greg.

    Sounds cool.

    Wasn't there a recent article in Wooden Boat on these boats?
