Help with Mercury Motor

[thenightmare]

Hello guys im new here. I just got a boat for 400 bucks and it seems to require a bit of work. I am glad that this site is available because i know nearly nothing about boats and really want to start using this thing.

Anyway, im looking for replacement parts for the motor but i have no idea what year it was made in. The identification number is 7105200, according to the title, and its a 6-cylinder 2 cycle, has Thunderbolt ignition, Mercury Powertrim, and 115 hp. I can post pics if needed. Im also interested in knowing any good places for parts to this thing, i live in Houston, Texas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
