Oh, and the other weird thing is that the pictures of the Suzuki are apparently old. He says he replaced it with a Mercruiser 3.0 and that the Mer has less than 70 hours on it. Number one, the pictures don't show a Merc and number two I'm wondering if that 135 hp motor is underpower for this boat ... Then again, I only take the kids cruising, tubing and fishing not skiing so do I can get by without huge hp and think of the gas mileage ... :)

NOT POSSIBLE!!!! A Mercruiser is an I/O engine/outdrive unit. Unless he cut thru the transom there's no way he put a Mercruiser on it. And if he put a Merc 3.0 outboard on it then it should fly!!!!!

As to the underpowered, I believe there is someone on this site that runs a 115 Merc. It doesn't go all that fast, but it gets up on plane and he goes 27mph normally. I'm thinking that a 135 should get you into the low 30's without any trouble. And 200HP+ should get you into the 50mph club without any real problems.

Yeah, my bull**** meter was running high anyway. Here's his response to my calling him on it.

I'm glad that you are still interested. Yes i accept your price of $6000. THE MOTOR IS A MERCRUISER 3.0. IT SHOWS 62 HOURS OF RUN TIME AND JUST HAD A FRESH SERVICE TO INCLUDE PLUGS, OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AND LOWER UNIT LUBE. THE ALPHA OUTDRIVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
>>> Like I said before I will be happy to walk you through the process, OLS is short for Online Lawn Sales and their website is onlinelawnsales .com , maybe now this sounds familiar to you. As they describe themselves, " Online Lawn Sales is a safe payment system for the Internet that protects both buyer and seller ".

I though the same thing regarding going through the transom to put in a mercruiser in exchange for a Suzuki four. None of it really makes sense but you know, I wanted it ... ha ha

Just the price alone tells me it's a scam.
