    Mercury 45, 1975 4.5 HP

    I was wondering what the group thought of this motor. Does it's so-called nickname, "Iron Seahorse" stand true. I need a little motor for my inflatable and was considering a purchase of one. I can get it for $400. Seems to run O.K. and appears to be in good shape. Thanxs, Harry
