I have a 1982 Mercury 150 in good running condition. It is currently on an
18' glass bass boat that I will probably never use again... the hull is in
very bad shape. Anyway. 135 PSI on all six cylinders. Power tilt and
trim. Control box is worn, but works. On the bad hull I took it out a
month ago, becasue a kid was interested in buying the whole thing, and I was
able to run about 48 mph with three large adults on board.

It has all new elctronics, and I rebuilt all three carbs about 6 months ago.
Really stong motor. I'ld take $2000 for the motor, and all the controls.
That much because it would be quite a bit of work to pull everything from
the boat to make it complete.

I need an outboard motor, somewhere between 150 and 200 horse, for my
Glen-L
boat project I'm finally finishing. To save money I was thinking about
buying a motor in the 10 to 20 year old range and overhauling it myself.

If anyone has had experience in this I'd like to know how difficult it is
to
get parts for motors of this age and where do you get books or instruction
manuals for such a job.

Thanks in advance.
