Mariner/mercury 90hp

Looking at buying a 90hp mariner or mercury new. Can anyone recommend a good dealer in UK please. Happy to travel to pick up for a decent price. I've fount out the RRPs but can anyone give advice what I really should be paying? Happy for a 'last years model'

Also need a dealer for a stator for a clam shell 1990 75hp? Anyone know a good dealer in which to buy one?

Thanks in advance.

Clyde Outboard Services. Cammy always offers lean prices plus excellent back up. Highly recommend.

I'm with Jambo on this one. Cameron at Clyde Outboards Port Glasgow. Get all my gear from them and to make a Yorkshireman travel 200 miles to buy is a challenge....

I'm sure there have been a couple of threads from unhappy customers on here

The new mercs are a nice engine and almost silent. Try calling Barnet marine centre. (BEST UK PRICE Outboard Motor Rib Inflatable Aluminium Boat Package). I got my 115 merc from them and it was a lot less than their web price, inc delivery and the service and after sales support was very good, particulay when fitting the smartcraft bits. Incidently the 75 90 and 115 the the same engine so if the boat will take the power, go for the bigger engine at no extra weight. I did and its incredible.
