Hey everyone,
My name is John....
Last year i purchased a 1975 Mark Twain Round about boat with a Mercury 1500 outboard. I was just wondering how much should i expect to pay for a tune up? When i got the boat i didn't realize that the guy that sold it to me was scaming me because the hydraulics didn't work and when i put the boat into water it started great and ran fine but when i tried to throtle it up, the engine died. The only way that i could get it to full throtle is by dumping the throtle to full right off the bat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just need to know if a tune up would help this and how much should i expect to pay for one or should i dump the thing?
