Hello folks,
I'm thinking about buying a 1973 Mercury 9.8 Model 110. It's about 2.5 hours drive away. I've heard it run via video and it sounds good. Parts seem to be available after you cross reference numbers a couple times. I'm more familiar with Johnsons and Evinrudes, this would be my first dance with a Mercury. So what do y'all think about this motor in general? Pretty good platform? Or should I run? Appreciate it.

I don't know how I missed this thread. I'd have told you nothing but good about it.

I had a 15 Johnson as a kid, my friend had 110 Merc, both had 12' tins and we ran neck and neck, mine could pull a skier but for top end it was amazingly fast.
