He had a 25 H.P. Wizard which was made by Mercury and very similar to a MK 30.
We built Dean a full house gas burner 44 c.i. Mercury power head and wrapped it up in that 25 H.P. Wizard cowling. Needless to say Dean had the fastest "25 H.P." motor on the lake!
Now everyone knows where his shop got it's name!
Dean's Dad used to referee high school basketball games in our area. I had a nephew playing ball and sometimes Mr. Pink (I think his name was Dean too) would be officiating my nephew's game. Of course I always gave him a hard time.
He was very patient with me, but when he had enough, he would point at me and wag his finger. That was his signal for me to back off a bit.
