Project Mailbox...

[Hippie459MN]

Well, I decided to do something a bit different and here it is. Nothing major but it should look kinda cool.

So I am in major need of a new mailbox due to a door that no longer closes from being beat to death one to many times it looks like and not to mention the bullet hole in it so yesterday I went to my local Menards and dug through a bunch of mailboxes to find the right one and I found it. You know how hard it is to find a white mailbox and one that is smooth on top of it around here? I found one though so I took it home with me and sat and looked at it for a while trying to think what I can do and just then it hit me... Follow along...

Here is my new untouched mailbox

I always wanted a 33hp johnson for a mailbox, because it is the only thing they were good for.

I don't know, they make pretty good anchors too!

Conversely, my father has a '63 "Fastwin" 18hp (same style) he bought new and that was/is a great motor.

Well, Here it is... Nothing fancy or over the top. Just wanted something different and I had some scrap pieces of black vinyl so I used a piece up.

Now if this wind ever dies down I just might walk my *** all the way down my muddy driveway and replace my mailbox with a nice new shinny one that doesn't collect and hold water. Nothing like soggy bills.

Hey now... Dont be hating on the OMCs.

Black, White, It doesn't matter to me as long as it makes my boat go.

Dude, but still, it's not black!
hope it don't get to many bullet holes lol

[Hippie459MN]

If this one does get replaced (Smashed, or bullet holes LoL) it will be one with a merc feel for sure. I already have a friend that wants a new one but as a merc and I might take him up on it next weekend.

You know, it might look good if you used a tiller handle for the flag.

V8 with a tiller? Sounds like fun!
