Still in crate 150 mariner, 20" shaft , manufactured 12/21/1983
still in origial crate and has never been out , with all rigging inside
crate that's never been opened either, with original warranty card that
has never been used either. You will probably never find another one
anywhere !!!! Priced @ $4950 firm call 727-639-4354
How's that possible? Wow !
New old stock!!! Haha.
I could only imagine how all the rubber seals and hoses have held up. Or how the cylinder walls and bearings look. Maybe rusty inside??
Either way, pretty sweet!!! I wonder if mercury would still honor the warranty.
and around salty humid air ,HA!

Guessing the price in 1983 was about the same as what he listed it for now.
Who's barn or shelf?
Noice!
These "barn finds" are starting to piss me off. All I find in barns is old horse crap. Heck of a find.
Rock
If you come across a NOS F1 Offshore with a speed master in a crate let me know.
thanks
thats probably close to retail back in 83. I bought a 200 mercury in 84 for 6k.Quote:
