talking to a guy local about a boat motor. It is a 1971 Mercury 50 Horse motor and will crank and run when hooked up to a waterhose with muffs, but will not start when put in water. Doesnt make any sense to me. Any opinions? Cures>?
I just bought a big flat bottom aluminum boat and am looking to opinions on what motor to go with. It is 18 foot with a 52 inch floor. I can get the following motors for it, but just trying to get some other opinions...
Setup 1: Boat with a 1971 Mercury 50 horse with all controls for $250...
