Re: What year is my Mercury 20hp outboard

Thank You, I got called out to work for a gas leak, fixed it. I noticed that the gent had his boat and trailer all loaded up... I asked him if was on his way fishing. This started a hour long conversation about our fishing tales... He asked me about my boat, i told him about my new Avon Inflateable... He asked me what size motor the boat would take, i told him a 25hp... He asked me if i wanted a 20 hp Merc, then took me out to look at it... It is like new so well looked after.. he said he could'nt cary it any more, and if i would use it i could have it... I could not just take it so he said $100.00.. his concern was that he had not been able to use the 20horse for 5 years... I gave him 100.00 and and did a complete service on it.. On the second pull it fired up and runs like a top... I think this will be great motor and i met a another good guy, hope to see him on the lakes...
