[QUOTE="thill, post: 499788, member: 4972"] This is an upcoming decision I need to make. I have several motors on hand I could choose from: [LIST=1] [*] 1989 Mercury Mariner 60 HP with power trim [*] 2001 Evinrude 50 with power trim [*] 1994 Johnson 60 HP with power trim [*] 1999 Evinrude 70 HP with power trim [/LIST] The boat is already rigged for Mercury with a new set of controls, so the Merc is a bolt-on. But it needs the carbs rebuilt, and I don't know how it runs yet, but I only have about $400 into it. The 50 is a super-nice motor, very clean and good-running, but enough power? $800 into it The 60 is good looking, but owner said it has no power. Probably carbs. $600 in it. The 70 is a very nice motor, very clean and good running. I have $1,500 in it. I think the main decision is between the Mariner and the 70. One I have to play with carbs and get it running right, and the other, I have to re-rig with Evinrude controls. Decisions, decisions... [/QUOTE]
