Mercury 200 1975
 

Hi everyone!
I am new here and looking for some advise.
I have a Mercury 200 (20 HP) 1975, non-electric. I bought it new used
it for four years & because the Peterborough Planked Cedar boat I
bought used at that time was Fiberglassed it rotted out. I stored the
motor in my basement (nice & dry) put some oil in the cylinders &
turned it over every year.
I now want to get a boat for it, am thinking of an Aluminium boat
about 14 foot, would like to put a steering wheel on it & windshield.
Any advise on that like is that too short of a boat, and any advise on
a boat manufacturer will help.
I also need a prop for the motor, any advise on that like pitch, etc.
I thought about selling the motor but it is in such good shape that I
hate to part with it even though it is almost an antique.
Really appreciate any advise....thanks....Ernie
