First I would like to say thanks reelapeelin for posting the great find.

I bought the boat today and got it home without any problems.

The boat owner was a little too honest and presented the boat in worse condition than it really was in. Tires made it home without problems, and I just filled the bearing buddies with grease and that was it.

The compression on the motor was around 125 on all cylinders.

My only question: is the water that comes out of a pee hole on a mercury at idle a little warmer then most others engines? The motor sounds great and shifts perfectly. I believe the engine was rarley run. It still has the orginial emergrency pull cord attached to the engine cover untouched.

Worse comes to worse I bought a 130 yamaha yesterday with all the rigging for $500. I even went out in the bay with that motor yesterday.

It is nice when everything works out.

thanks
