Thanks. I actually thought of your AMX passion when I found it.


This one is powered by a medium sized klicker.


90 HP Kiehkauffer Mercury Tower of power. 1967 or '68. I don't know the exact model, but I believe it is a three carb inline six. A tough devil to get tuned right but high torque and smooth running.


I will be picking it up near Milwaukie on Thursday. Saturday I will be assessing the structure, floor and Transom. If all goes well, I will only need to have the interior re-upholstered. The guy who just did my '95 Ram one ton gets the job.

I'm thinking factory configuration with rolled and tucked seats in cream and orange/red piping. Crumpy insists we have a first class job done giving me a virtual blank check. I am somewhat anxious to find out why. Or what THAT will eventually cost me.



(It could just be because I let her buy our son a 26 ft cabin cruiser.)

But, I'll deal with THAT later.


Right now I cannot wait to get this baby wet.
