Nice engine but 2 things
I need to by my son a car
And I have a 150 Black Max that is in incredible condition that I can have for $700 or less with harness prop and controls.
And if my 2 boys break the engine it won't hurt to much

Long term I want to raise it to 25 and repower

Took the day off today and went down to Islamorada to our new townhouse and took these 2 pics.
I'm in a hurry to get the boat done and after I saw one just like mine docked there I am on a mission

Sounds like a sweet deal on the Merc. I repowered w/ a 200 Mariner on one of my 20 Sea Crafts back in the late 90's and loved it.

Got some work done today
Applyed primer to the console and hatches.
Very few bad spots mainly on the hatch in the area that will have non skid the console came out great.
Not bad for doing it in the back yard

Next the boat interior

Picked up the engine today

Merc Black Max 150 came with the harness 3 props spair trim/tilt cylinder battery cables and best of all the OEM service manual and a file with all the service done by a Merc tech looks to be in pretty good shape and has 120 psi compression on all.

Lets see what happens when I get it on the boat and crank it up

Plan is to repaint it and get the original stickers for the cowling have carbs rebuilt etc......

I need to wait for my 2 boys to get it out of the back of the truck so pics tomorrow

... have carbs rebuilt etc......

Jorge,
If you've got the factory service manual, I would encourage you to do your own carbs. The manual has step by step instructions for dis-assembly and reassembly and for synchronizing them. All the jets are fixed orifice except the idle air screw, and you just set that back to it's original setting on each carb. It's an easy two hour job once you're familiar with it, maybe a three hour job the first time through if you know your way around a tool box.
