    It is so nice and refreshing to see a 40merc that DOESNT have the Matranga sideglass treatment, dont get me wrong Matranga merc is stunning but there are just a shitload of them out there. This looks great with the slant!!!!!!!!!!

    Always love the rods coming from Rudy's hands - some of the very best stuff being built.
    Very cool to see what he does with a custom, and of course, he does it with a different twist and it turns out great.
