Opinions Wanted on 2005 Mercury 150HP
Well, I'm still looking for a replacement motor for my old tired 86 Merc 175 for my V20 Cuddy. Compression on it is down to 100psi and getting real hard to start sometimes due to that. It has been used extensively in salt water which makes rebuilding out of the question for me.
I have found a 2005 Mercury 150 HP that is carbed for sale with 6 hours on rebuild less controls and prop for $3900. Is this a good deal? I want to stay carbed unless I buy a brand new motor with a warranty which is just not happening on my budget. Looks like a lot of the parts are interchangeable with my old motor so I would have spare parts from mine. Will the prop and controls swap right over to this motor from mine? Also can I expect the bolt holes to line up with my old motor so that I simply unbolt it and bolt the new one on?
