Black and white marketing photo of a Sea Ray Merc 650 runabout, powered by a Mercury outboard motor, taken from off its starboard quarter. Two men sit in the front seats of the boat, the driver is shirtless, and the passenger wears a plaid shirt. Two women in bikinis sit in the back seat. Rocky cliffs are visible in the background. A caption pasted to the verso reads:
For boaters who enjoy cruising America's scenic rivers, the 1968 65-hp Merc 650 with Thunderbolt ignition and the revolutionary new Lightning ignition energizer is the ideal motor to power the family runabout.
