Just heard back from the marina, my new '87 merc 115 has low compression on 3 of the 6 cyclders, not worth fixing ( wiring insulation is falling off of it also).
He said what I paid for was the pontoon itself.
So he has a 50hp Johnson '99 for 2.5k installed. I have a runabout, so dont need speed, but don't want underpowered either.
ideas?
thinking of just running it till it dies. (Its only a river - 10mi long, cant get to far if it breaks down)
I said I'd let him know in the morning.
