Hi.
I am slowly rebuilding a 1976 Glastron v162...I just found a 1976 Mercury 115 HP for sale locally.
My questions:
1. How do I measure to find if I need a 20" or a 25" shaft? (and how do I measure the outboard to find out which it has? - just in case - the seller is unsure)
2. It being a 30 year old motor, what do you think a good price range would be for it? Seller says 125 compression across all cylinders...if that is true and everything else it "flawless"...what would be a good "Best Offer"? I noticed (on eBay) everything from $300 to $1500 for "simular" motors.
3. Being new to OBs, what else should I look for?
Thanks.
