Hello,
I am looking to replace my 35hp 1966 Merc with a 50hp motor. It will definitely be used and my budget is up to $1000. I was wondering what year/makes have a good reputation.
I'm guessing I'll be looking at mid '80s or older for that price range in my area (Detroit, MI). Any suggestions on what is good or what to stay away from in that price range / age? I understand that maintenance can have a huge impact on quality, but I'm just looking for a starting point to go from.
Thanks for help,
Mick
