Re: 1979 115hp mercury

ill give ya a brief history, the old I-6 is a pretty decent engine, they are hard to start cold, but once they warm up you barely touch the key and shes goin, they have good power, hence the nickname tower of power. make sure as with any engine, you hear it run, run it on the lake w.o.t., have a spark and compression check, and give it a good looking over. do all this before you buy, you just never know.
