Default R.I.P. Merc 200


She bit the dust Monday...leaned out and scorched #6 cylinder...no crank damage, actually still runs fairly well, but compression in that cyl down to 60lbs...all 5 others strong at 125

But here's the real story aboard the fork lift who built the pallet and donated the Merc in the 1st place...Thanks, Vic...she was enjoyed by all right up to the end...

That sucks, bigtime. If I can get the V back, I will bring her down and you are more than welcome to use her for the remainder of your time there.

Hedge that's a mighty thoughtful offer...and I know it to be sincere, but if you left you V w/me and something happened, my fault or not, I'd have a tough time dealin' w/it...Hope to see ya down here, boats or not boats if yer still planning to come!!...

That is one ugly MO FO at the wheel of that towmotor.

So sorry to hear. Maybe you can find a powerhead, or just sell what is left over for seed money. I will be on the lookout..

Bummer for sure........but some solid motors out there if you look under lots of welcome matts.

Especially the Evinrude 200 carb motors - typically selling for around $ 1,800 - $ 2,500.
