Rich....the boat looks fantastic. I am just getting home from the Clayton NY Antique Boat races, so I am a little late on this thread.
What a great feeling it must be to have completed the project. Listen, I would be honored to fill that other seat any time you need some extra "ballast".
Here is a shot of some of the old race boats this past weekend. The first one is of an old Seebold Unlimited triple outboard....anyone interested in a project this winter, here it is.
The next is a an Allison....you know the one who had the "Beak" before you know who.
And the last is another great example of Switzer boats.

Picture one, I think is the Texmo Moth, was power by 3 3.4liter merc motors.. if I remember correctly.
That would be the ultimate restoration. Getting the motors right would be near impossible, as I understand it there were VERY few motors built for it. something like 9, I know a collector has 2 of them.

Thanks for sharing the project, fantastic job you've done there. Love seeing pics of those big old tall Mercs.
I did see this 20' Switzer Wing for sale.
