[QUOTE="sbm2240, post: 202359, member: 5698"] Hi there, first i'll put a disclaimer that I'm no motor expert. I can give my two cents though! I just purchased a 2001 5HP Mercury 2-stroke for $450.00. The motor is in perfect working condition. Based on what I've looked at in my area, that was a really good deal. My advice is to call your local marine shop and ask them what they think. Give them details of whats wrong and see if they could give you a ball park of what costs you could be looking at. Ask if they even carry parts for that motor (accessibility to replacement parts is very important) The other thing is consider what you are willing to spend in total on the motor. If you buy it for $200 are you willing to double the costs to get it fixed? What could you get for $400 in your area? Something newer possibly? Just food for thought... good luck. [/QUOTE]
