Mercruiser special restore
 

The Mercruiser special, originally driven by George Morales has finally made it to our shop. It will be restored to its original for the Cowes to Torque race

Here is a pic of it now and from its past glory

That is not the boat. Mercruiser Special became Popeyes, as it was seen at the Kenner / New Orleans OSS race a couple of years ago. It belongs to a man near Ft Myers Florida. I believe the boat you have there was Tim Ciasulli's Maxon......

I guess the Miss Maxon will be redone as Mercruiser special

LOL... both Classic big Aluminum Cougars! Wave Crushers!

Out of curiosity any pics or clips or Merc Special at CTC back in the day running ?
Although this will be a replica at least it's something and this one doesn't have any dents on the deck from mrs Morales stiletto heels...

PS the back in the day pic just made as my 50" wallpaper...looking quite good ;)

Hahaha that's funny.

Awesome either way!

That one was built for Ben Kramer, He went to camp so Tim Bought it.

You are right again Ryan,that boat is what you say it is,It was for sale at Randy Hartmans when I wanted to buy it,the wanted 80,000 grand for it! that when I was on my cougar kick....Bob

So apparently I took a pic of Miss Merc Special stripped 1993 in Pompano Beach Marina ?

It was never stripped. Copeland bought it from Morales and it has been Popeyes ever since 1985 I believe. I know Jay Castaline had it for awhile. Cope land bought it to run in the Miami New York race and Morales beat him with his new cat.
