Hi,

I saw a 20' Robalo with a 175 Merc B-Max with 1 weak cylinder...
Seller says replace motor...

I am trying to get my nephew on the water in Florida - i live in Oregon.

So is this Merc model make year - a good candidate for a rebuild ?

Absolutely. The 2.5 Mercury is the best motor on the water. Best factory and aftermarket parts availability of any outboard motor ever made. Easy to work on and a huge knowledge base to tap from. 105 to 300 HP in factory versions. What more could you want ?
