We have completed an 11 foot 8 inch C runabout that will look just like the A/B boat we have finished. Which has been sold.  With the sale we purchased two of Jon Woods green and gold Mark 20H engines that still have the factory seals in place. 

We are producing restoration parts for Mercury Quicksilver racing lower units.  Presently we have  parts for the A/B/C and D versions. 

Alan purchased the remaining parts of the late Harry Brinkman.  We will be selling some of the extra parts and putting back together some of the engines Harry never finished.  A reprinting of his manual on modifying the Mercury engine for racing together with Harry's latest notes has been undertaken.

Our  engines are a C Mod built with the Harry Brinkman championship crankshaft and using the latest notes Harry had on porting.  A new 44 Cubic Inch TX444DK engine using four carbs and pyramid reeds and special Tiliston carbs machined from solid billets of aluminium. Doug Kay has finished a 60 CI mod engine which won one heat of racing at Hillsdale, MI.  For a link to our first test of this engine go to our Boat Collection page, click on the link to You Tube, the longer version is the better show.

Alan's son, JR, had his first ride in Alan's C Mod in 2010 in Pinville, LA.  This was also the first test of the boat and engine neither of which had been in the water before.  Working on the set up and prop selection will take some time.  JR did him self proud finished fourth, not bad for the first time in a race boat.  We finished the season running an A Mod race in Hillsdale, MI.  JR used a Mark 20H we built for him.  In days of racing he finished thrid in each race.

We have published an article describing the examination of an unmolested Mark 20H we purchased in Oct 2010.  This engine even though it looks horrid on the outside once the cowls were removed you could see it had never been apart.  We discuss the exterior assembly of this engine and will leave the internals for a another article since we are not tearing the engine down at this time.  The finished booklet is abound edition with a cost of $35 plus shipping.  See Repro Parts for details.

We have raced this M510 in 250cc (A) Mod runabout with the NBRA.  We used one of our Mark 20H  conversion engines to power this rig.
