TOPIC: Merc 1500XS in Talbott, TN - $750 !

Man, I wish this was closer!!!

The boat doesn't look like much but who cares, that's a shortshaft motor (with a 5" extension) and you can plainly see the louvered XS cover. Someone in the area should grab that fast before it's gone to an unappreciative buyer!

Run, do not walk, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go get that boat/motor.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's in my driveway now! Haven't seen it yet because we're traveling, but I'm told it looks pretty good (I'm talking about the motor of course). Not sure what I will put it on yet, as it is not a good match for most of my boats, but I'm sure I will come up with something.

Thanks, Ed, for posting, and Neil for commenting. Glad this one didn't slip by.

Shannon in Crystal River

Way to go Shannon, nice score! I know where there's a CVX-16 project boat and ttrailer you could pick up super cheap that would be perfect for that motor. I've heard the guy is looking to find it a new owner, would probably swap it for the trailer under that one!

Congrats! Hope it's all you hoped for when you finally see it.

Be sure to give the tree growing by the front seats a good shot of Weed n' Feed!!!!
