Hi,
I recently sold my Wellcraft 192 because I'm looking to downsize to a smaller fishing boat. I've come across some recently that I like and will go look at/sea trial in the coming week hopefully. One I'm really interested in has a 1989 Mercury 80hp ELPTO and I'm curious about the motor. The previous owner says it runs strong, was always maintained and has receipts from local marina to prove that maintenance was completed. I was wondering if anyone has personal experience with the motor and if they know if parts are still available should any future maintenance need completed. I prefer to work on boats myself, plan on using it mostly for fishing and slow trolls on a 17ft aluminum boat.
Thanks in advance!
