Asking $350 for it. I just picked up a mark 78a complete for $250. I'm thinking around 200 for this 75 any suggestions. Travis Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Pondrockett44,

there are 3 things to look at, when considering a "dockbuster" at any price: CONDITION, CONDITION & CONDITION.
(this is true, to varying degress, for all OB motors BUT it is CRITICAL for the old Mercury "tall 6s".)

IF it has not been abused, i think that it's a deal, if it is complete & easily made functional.

just my opinion, satx

Travis, check the compression in all cylinders to make sure you are not buying a pig in a poke. I have a mark 78 that I am parting out. Skipthescrounger has already received some parts and is in the process of making another wish list but I have parts avail for your motors, starter, mag, choke, recoil, mounting brackets etc. The powerhead is complete and has 100+ in all cyls.
