I'm not an expert, but the brochure for the Scimitar list "Mercruiser 260" as the power source. That's the only info I have about the motor/drive system. Geo.
i found the letters for the simitar, thanks again. new question. were all simitars equipted with mercruiser lowers?, or are there just a few omc? thanks.
We haven't got anything put together yet, but we have talked about Beaver Lake maybe,� I've never been there,� and lake of the Ozarks is doable,� I'd like to have a get together before George sells his boat,� I think it would be a One Of A Kind video to have several Scimitars running side be side,� I'd get a kick out of it for sure.
How about I make a broadcast email for suggestions.� Then maybe we could get a date and place set.� George and I both are in Okc,� but I probably�have a lot more flexibility than George,� his business keeps him pretty close to home, he just recently sold his condo on Table Rock a week ago,� wish we could have got together up there.

The letters George has are nice looking letters, you'd have to be looking pretty close to notice they're not original.

I bought mine last year from a place in texas. They are almost perfect matches and were just $4.00 a letter. I googled chrome lettering and that's how I found them. They are chromed plastic with adhesive back.
jbird : they are made of pot metal and if the boat has seen any salt water,chances are they're pretty pitted.Mine were so-so.I had them re-chromed to the tuine of 35.00 letter.It cost me 490.00.Maybe someone else has another idea.good luck,David
