Hi guys,
I need some help here. Recently i decided to upgraded my 9.9 Hp Johnson 2000 to something more powerful. I don't know much about motors. I found one deal which really good for my budget. It's 1965 20 HP Mercury. It's a desent shape, owner checked compresion - it's all good. The lower unit was complete rebuilt drive shaft, prop shaft all seals new impeller. Top end was all checked out. New fuel lines and fitting, new tank. Bearings were fine. Complete sand down of motor and repainted with zinc chromate and than a two part paint. This was done 2 years ago.
Friend of mine is saying that i don't need it, because i will be in trouble all the time. I don't know what to do?
It's quite old motor but how good is it? Is it reliable?
What whould be your advice - should i buy it?
