A friend gave me a 1969 20hp Mercury for my Jon boat. It looks to be in very good condition, but hasn't run in years. It turns over nicely and has good compression, was stored inside so it looks good, Question... is it worth fooling with being it's age and the availability of parts for it, I've got to admit...a 40 year old motor may require more fiddlin' with than I'm ready to do. But, you Mercury guys out there may say it's worth the time, maybe these were great motors...I don't know. Any comments appreciated..negative or positive. Thanks !
