1988 merc blax max 175, 25", new water pump installed $1400/ bo

i reall like the 150 fermanator posted .. but looking at near $4000 with shipping ... would not have $$ left for the other plans i have :) but not out of the question yet.

also found this 2000 johnson 200 hp http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...258351656&rd=1

Good engine but thirsty.

Excellent canidate, most likely a 2.0L in that year range.

A bit heavy, and thristy.

This one is right up there close to the big JOHNNY-RUDES in weight, but good on gas.
