Looking for Mercury Outboard - 10/22/19 03:04 AM

Looking for a 150-175 Mercury. My 2002 150xr6 has bit the dust or I should say blew its lid. I thought I had a powerhead for it but as it turned out the powerhead my mechanic had has an issue in the block so he’s chunking it.

Check out Duck River Marine in Columbia, TN. They ship rebuilt motors with a 1 year warranty.

Franzen Marine in Tampa FL. I have purchased 2 motors from him and wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again.

A friend of mine has a late 80’s or early 90’s model BlackMax from where he repowered a boat. He said he’d sell it cheap enough. If you’re interested send me a PM and I’ll give you his number

Thanks but a 2002 is too old as it is, I don’t want to go any older. Thank you very much for asking.

Well I after much aggravation I decided to just buy a new powerhead with pistons, rings and crank shaft. Hope to be back on the water by next Friday
Although I’m having a hankering to buy another boat after looking at them for weeks. Stay tuned, I’m probably gonna sell the cat and get another boat. 😀

What kind of warranty do you get with a rebuilt Basscat?

I have a 2017 TRX 20 Triton that's for sale with Brand new carpet, minnkota ultrex, not a scratch on it and warranty for another 2 1/2 yrs. 358 hrs but 225 of them are at idle speed and only 6hrs above 5700 rpms. You should just buy it. It has been an awesome boat

I’m gonna be looking for a 18’6 or19’ with single axel trailer due to space in my garage. I’ve NEVER kept a boat outside in 29yrs if owning one and I’m not gonna start just to get a 20’ that I really don’t need. 😀

Naa, my mechanic is buying it from his dealer he’s been doing business with for 20 years.
