“All parts are from MarineEngine.com” — Mike G., Victoria, Australia

We just received photos and notes from Australian customer, Mike G. , who recently completed his full restoration of his boat and motor. Great work, Mike!

Mike’s boat: a classic 1966 SwiftCraft 1500 – he calls it “an Australian icon.”
His motor: a vintage 1966 Evinrude Starflight 80HP, Model Number 80692

Mike dug in and rebuilt his 52-year old Evinrude from scratch. “All parts are from MarineEngine.com,” says Mike. He bought sparkplugs, pistons, seals, gaskets, bearings, ignition parts, water pump parts, filters, fasteners, and more.
