Re: Mercury Marine factory tour
As Dom says, we're meeting at Mercury Marine Racing HQ in Fon Du Lac, WI Friday September 19 at 10 AM for a plant tour, lunch and car show. It is being promoted internally by Mercury. We have a good group going and if any additional ZRoners can make it, all the better.--Bob

Re: Mercury Marine factory tour
I think it is more of a motley crew than studs
