The 1250 is a fairly common motor, the BP is VERY rare
Thank you! I recently saw a video where the racer said he used a 1250ss with a speedmaster gearcase instead of his BP and went racing. I was wondering if there was a difference between a stock Merc 1250 like mine which doesn't say SS on my engine decal set and a Merc 1250 and does say SS on the decal...Thanks for your reply!!!!
SS = "Solid State" ignition, later known as "Thunderbolt ignition" = electronic ignition ( no points )

Huh I thought the SS was short shaft, no 1250 had points,,, I have a 69 1250 SBP center and lower with the steady reast for $1500 if anyone is interested
No, on a Merc it means Solid State and is even on long shaft motors of those few years
