Hi all,
I've just managed to purchase an early to mid 90's Mercury 2 stroke outboard. It is the 40hp 'Classic' model. It's an electric start, oil injected, electric trim and tilt model that does run. It will need a new impeller, spark plugs and possibly a carburetor flush, but is a promising motor. How long do these old outboards last for, and how much would this be worth if I give it a lick of paint (it's faded) and cleaned it up nicely? Thanks
