Not sure if this is a correct place for this question... I have a 1976 Mercury 850 Thunderbolt and was wondering the value of this motor. Bought it on a hunch it would be a good backup motor for our pontoon boat. Guy I bought it from said he never had it started. I put muffs on it got it started...
