I am looking at getting a Mecury 7.5 hp 2 stroke (not sure of the year it is black with brown and white stripes and the MERCURY is white in caps. If you can venture a guess on the year it would be wonderful.
Ok now I am wondering if this is the right engine for my specific use case.
1. Achilles SPD-4AD 10.17 lenght 57" beam.
2. Wood Floor.
3. 2 Adults and 2 small children.
4. Primary boating is on the Tidal Potomac and tributaries.
My goal is to be able to use this for mostly fishing to keep the mess off of the main boat. It would mostly be my son (3) and myself. Sometimes his friend likes to go with us (4). I would also like to be able to use this to go to a restaurant with the family and check out some of the places we can not go with the main boat. I am looking at this and a 2003 6hp 4stroke Merc. I have never owned a Mercury in my life so I am looking for reliability and which one would be a better fit. Both are used and I have been considering getting both and then trying them out and selling the one I do not like. But I would prefer not to do that as $$ is not flowing as it use to. Help here would be very much appreiciated.
