Since when did the merc drag motors use carbs, a fishing motor mid and a nose coned gearcase. Or is this your version of a drag motor. Nice NOS job though. Raced a 2002XR myself.

Seriously though what's the deal with this boat? I wana know more.

Good Lord, I thought you were in the midwest for some reason. I was chuckling thinking about what that would look like out on the local lake, before I saw the stickers.
