Guys - A search for topics only brought me more questions.<br /><br />I'm interested in a 1994 Larson 18ft Bowrider with a 1990 Mercury 100HP outboard on it. Not sure yet how or what happened to the '94 outboard that I would assume was originally on it.<br /><br />Is there anything particularly bad (or good) about this motor? My last 1990 outboard, which was a 1990 90HP Force, was a POS so I'd like to avoid those kinds of quality issues. <br /><br />Now I know that for 1990 Force and Merc's were not together yet, so there's hopefully no comparison.<br /><br />I read about Mercury only putting gas to 1/2 the cylinders (on 4 cyl motores) during these years at certain RPMs...would a 3 cyl 100HP have the same technology (and problems), or is this a pretty decent outboard by reputation?<br /><br />I'll of course be doing a compression check, pressure testing the Lower unit seals, etc.<br /><br />Thanks!!!
