    Boat budget question

    Told my wife that on this (lightly promised) final boat project that I would a) track all monies spent and b) I would try really really hard to keep below $2000. It has been well established that tools and beer are not to be counted against any perceived budget but I have two additional...

    1987 mercury 75

    $450, turns over but not running because he cut all the wires. I should just be able to hook up wires to start? If not prob still get it for that kind money and take a chance. Will do compression and check for water in lower unit oil. Anything else particular to these I should know?
