It's a 92. I know down here you can't touch a 9.9 or something of that size for less than $800-1000 for a decnet one. I would say the $450 isn't that out of line if the inside is as clean as the outside. From sittign that long plan on redoing the carb with a kit(those gaskets and seals will be hard as rocks from sitting), a full water pump kit as the impeller will be cracked, and the plastic housing should be done as well, a fuel pump(not expensive, but my bet is the diaphram will be hard as a rock from sitting), and also plan on doing all the rubber hoses from sitting.

Yeah I'm cheap lol

The 7.5 or whatever would likely be older...

I paid $75 for my '86 merc 7.5... Ran perfect but needed a lower unit... Then I bought another one with a broken transom clamp for $120 n robbed the lower unit from it... Soooo $195 total

I have a Merc 5hp 4stroke on a 16' Gheenoe. had a 4hp self contained Yam prior

If you don't mind a little beat up n wanna come buy me lunch ... :D

Had a 4 h p mariner yamaha that looked just like this one on a 13 foot Jon boat. Would plane out with enough weight forward. Was nice to have the on board tank or remote tank.

For price comparison....

My strong running 30 HP electric start Johnson with controls cost $75. Now I know that I got a great deal, but my point is that you should be able to do better than $450. Unfortunately, it's springtime, and this is the time of the year when prices are at their highest.
