I just picked this up from a guy that was hauling it to the dump. Says it ran several years ago but that his lake dried up and he sold the boat and just wanted to ge rid of this. I offered to pay him but he said just hauling off was good enough for him. Also got tank and hose... It is a 1977 Merc 45, according to the serial number. Gonna do impeller and clean carb then see what it does. Appears to be a long shaft and it is very heavy, probably 60 pounds or better.

Re: Garbage find...

Mark - that is a good find. I would try to start it before putting a nickle in it. You know a free motor or boat can be a money pit. ;)
