hey,
what price should a mercury 200 Optimax Saltwater from 2002 with 550 hours have on the secondhand market?

knowing that:
More than 50 % of hours under 3.000 rpm, 30 % between 3.000 and 3.999, 2 % between 4.000 and 4.500, and remaining time under 750 RPM.

Well, what price is it being advertised at?

You could have a look on boats and outboards for similar sized engines

Are they reliable and would I have one? yes and yes

Is it not in the manual. I have the 150 Opti manual I downloaded for free so the 200 one should be around somewhere. There is someone up in Oban looking for a good engine on Ribnet, have a look through the threads over the last week.
