Hi, nothing really wrong with this model and with so little work it will be fine. They are not as nice as the US made 8HP Mercs with the gearshift in the handle, very cool trim/tilt and all the other features of that US engine, but because these are made by TMC (who Merc owns half of) the 8HP in the picture was cheaper so Merc discontinued the US made one.

As for the price new ones range from $1600-$1850 depending if a dealer is selling old stock so your call on the price.

Cheers,

Huey.

Hey Huey. Thanks for the info mate !

The price seems fine to me I would love to buy a new one off you but i dont have that extra few hundred

for a next to new motor 1300 seems pretty reasonable, but its entirely up to you in the end, as youre the person using it ..

cheers,

Seems like a good deal. Its basically brand new. Up to you but it seems like a good deal. No problems that i know of. Might wanna take it for a run just to be on the safe side.

Cheers YG
