TOPIC: Merc 75

Snagged this one this weekend for $20. Purrs like a kitten.Just needs some cosmetics.

you are going to need a dealer license...

This was laying in the bottom of the boat. He said I dad to take it also. Its locked up and missing parts.
I thought the hood would make a awesome mailbox! (Not poking fun at the E-Rude guys)

Neil, we have attached a gps tracking device to your vehicle so we can follow you down whatever road you keep finding these deals.!!

My wife is starting to call me Fred Sanford.

Your going to own every outboard in Idaho . Big , Small, Short and Tall ...L.O.L..

Have you noticed that I am getting the lighter ones?
I can load them by myself!!
I try to look at it as "saving" these old motors. I have lots of room in the shop, and most of these old girls would have just sat out in the weather and gone to waste. Even if they are not all running perfectly, or at all, they are a hoot for me to just look at. (Spoken like a true hoarder)! I go out in the shop every morning for coffee and there they are. They don't poop on the floor, they don't whine and bother the neighbors. They don't get out and tip over trash cans. They just silently wait to go back and do what they do best. AND, they are a colorful lot.
I also get to share them with all you folks here.
Maybe I am just Mercury kooky! Hope so.

ahhhhhh true justification for the obsessed spoken perfectly!

Neil,
Well put! Of course the step in the "Twelve Step" process is admitting you have a problem!

If you have too many AND not enough, you're a collector.

A wife would have to be much happier seeing her Hubby line up Old Mercs than Jack Daniels Bottles to ..
