.....in april of 2005 i had contacted tim calmes about some merc parts that nj john from lake hopatcong,n.j., wanted to get rid of. i told him i would deliver them to his home up in silver lake. he asked me what i wanted to deliver and i told him nothing, but asked if he would look over my merc. i had just finished restoring the mantaray and it was time for its inaugural run. who better than tim to try it out. he changed the impeller, rebuilt the fuel pumps and new plugs. we took her down to the launch ramp and she fired right off. its been smooth sailing ever since. the talk about starting a chapter was initiated at tim's, and we've been growing ever since. some pics from that day.
