Re: 1980 mercury outboard

If it is a 140HP Merc, from 1980, it is an inline six motor, and is identical (or nearly) to the '77 Merc 1500. Since it is so old, it is not worth much, IMO. If in good shape take the first $300 that comes along.... Parting it out could bring more, but it is more effort.

In unknown running condition, I would agree with Chris at around $300. If it can be demonstrated as running, It could be worth $750-1000.
