Anyone here knowledgeable about the second series Mercs.
A buddy picked up a Hurricane with the Merc 644, with less than 200 miles on it. Barn find.

VERY Heavy and slow. There is a repair manual here: http://www.vintagesnow.com/Mercury.html
Re: Merc Hurricane
They don't have the top end but mine gets up to speed pretty quick. I am running a 100c after blowing the original sals. The wiring is an issue with the few I have seen.
