I have an opportunity to purchase a 1975 MFG boat with a Mercury 115 OB. I have not yet seen the boat and am not sure how old the motor is. I've been told it is in good shape and runs well. I am new to boating but have wanted a boat for years and have been watching this forum just trying to educate myself. Lots of good information here. I realize that how the boat was cared for over the years is important. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge / experience with these boats.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help.

This probably wont be much help but I have to tell it.A friend had a new MFG 16 ft with a 40 Johnson circa 1962.Crossing Sandy Pond(northern NY) one night full bore he ran over an exposed shoal about 6 feet wide.It destroyed his lower unit but only scratched the MFG.He ran it many years thereafter.
