[QUOTE="perchin, post: 151370, member: 2620"] I guess for me it comes down to how old, and how much money was going to be invested. Around here you can get a lot of motors for $500 to $850 range that are mid 90's, and from 7.5hp to 25hp. I got a steal on a 66' merc. 9.8hp for only $50.00, spent another $125.00 for a carb kit, impeller, and one coil pack. So for $175.00 I have a good running motor, that parts are readily available for. If it were any older and I had to have a shop do the work on it, I don't think it would be worth my time. JMHO BTW-- Baitcaster, I love the looks of those ol' rudes. Wish I had one in that kind of condition too. =P~ [/QUOTE]
