Customer Reviews

Excellent book for Mercaholics

A high quality book that offers little known details of the early outboard industry and Mercury/Mariner specifically. For anyone with more than a casual interest in outboards, this is a must read!

An Interesting Book

I found this book an interesting read. Great photos of the early days of Mercury really add to the quality of this book.

A facinating look into Mercury Marine

This is a well researched book that discusses everything from the beginings of Mercury Marine to present. It discusses their early day business dealings with Montgomery-Ward, and how Kiekhaefer helped them survive it all to become the largest marine brand. This also has some excellent photos and old Mercury ads that are of interest to TRUE marine buffs.
