I think that will be a Gemini at that length, Rapier will confirm/correct I'm sure.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Spot on, is a Gemini...think the Deluxe model, but I can't see the screen. Early 70s at a guess.

The blue one is/was Howard's, mine was the non-deluxe.
