Waking Up Laurel River Lake With a 1957 Kiekhaefer Mercury MK75 Six-Cylinder Outboard Motor

A video made for all those weirdo's, like us, who could spend over 12 minutes listening to the harmious tune of a Kiekhaefer Mercury 6 cylinder marine engine screaming along at several different RPM ranges.

Motor is mounted to a 1953 Feathercraft Vagabond 15-ft vintage runabout, with a reinforced transom and fitted with Step-N-Trim tabs.

Filmed during fall break on Laruel River Lake in Corbin, KY. Enjoy the sights and sounds!
