What can you do eh? Annoyed me that I offered to put a reserve on it and he replied ''don't worry about that'' and failed to even give me a call or email me when it had sold.

Thanks peter, good find. Will have to try and get hold of him. Although he may be a bit pricey as it's not a private sale?

Just called the guy about the 50hp merc peter suggested.

It's 1998, comes with remotes. In good but not excellent condition.

All ready to go serviced and with a 3 month warranty.

Wants £1300. Yay or Nay?

sounds ok,. i had to do stuff on mine and i paid 2500... your not going to get a mint version or a engine that reqs no extra expenditure for that dude. get down there and check it out..

So you think it is reasonably priced?


cheers

[matt h]

Yes i do.. he probably will put a 3 month warranty on it.. make sure you get remotes/tacho wiring looms etc ideally see it running. give it a good visual all over

yes includes 3 month warranty. Will have to check about tacho, not sure if that is included.

Will see if he can do a compression test as well.

[henryfreston]

Bit of a waste of time


went all the way down there.

When I arrived they had the bloody leg off changing the impeller

Corrosion on it left right and center, he would have known full well but didn't bother telling me even though he knew I was travelling 2 hours to get there.

Some of the wiring loom had melted

Search goes on.....
