Gosport Then and Now: Postcards from Gosport… and a few from Portsmouth is the story of Gosport’s rich past which laid the foundation for the town’s fast-changing present.

It is the story of a small fishing village in the shadow of Portsmouth which developed to become a major naval and military base in its own right. And now, it is the story of a town evolving yet again as the naval and military bases disappear.

In this book, historic images and current views are juxtaposed to show the ways in which Gosport has sometimes stood still and sometimes altered almost beyond recognition.

Containing more than 100 images, Gosport Then and Now offers a visual feast for anyone interested in social or military history. The book brings past and present alive to offer a captivating portrait of a town.

Incorrect motor listed. Far smaller impeller than what's in the 6 horse johnson.
Size: For 5.5HP 6HP 7.5HP
It seems to be of good quality. However it does not fit a 6 horse johnson as it states. Therefore it will not pump water or function for my purposes. It was a waste of money.

Old Merc Inline 6s - 1500, 1400, 1250, 1150
This is the second time I purchased from them. The kits are good quality, and impeller is durable. Pictures is the initial one I purchased from them two seasons ago. It had hundreds of hours on it, plus me accidentally cooking it for 3 mins without water hooked up to the engine - which is why I purchased it again. Given 2 seasons of use and my recent screw up it held up well.
