Hey guys I have a mercury 1150 the title says it is a 1978, but my serial number doesn't match any 1978 mercury 1150, my serial number starts with 711xxxx. Does anyone have and explanintion for this
Move from a state that doesnt require boat motor titles ( most don't ) to one that does and the state police marine registrar just records the boats year and the serial numbers from the motor whether the years match or not. Then, years down the road someone buys the motor with the title and it makes no sense.
I think I still have a title from South Carolina for the motor that came on my boat in 1981. No other state Ive lived in since then required a title for a motor.
