"I've got a '75 Mark T

"I've got a '75 Mark Twain with a 351 235hp in it that starts easier than my car. I'm in the habit of checking all fluids in the engine and outdrive before and after each outing. May seem a little anal (fastideous), but with the money I put into rebuilding the outdrive, it's time well spent. I like the older engines myself as they are easier to work on, and most parts are still available, and sometimes cheaper than the newer ones."
