Smaller Tillotson AJ series carbs suggest this is a 60 hp 1956-59 Merc Mark75 or Mark75A. Too bad the guy can't tell you WHERE he expects you to pick it up from. http://abacus.sj.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_31192716ed9e25f472246e9dac/i-1.JPG

I live 40 minutes from his house. If anyone is interested, I can provide more info (if there's any more than what he posted). If anyone from Scream and Fly comes to look, definately let me know!!

Decals, ignition parts, rings, water pump parts are available, seals etc are std. I see a wrap around cowl in the first picture, it is pretty hard to find. If he doesn't have the front cover they sell regularly on eBay $30 to $80.

Previously unavailable: the plastic emblem for the front cover, available soon.

Not shown on the pictures and very important: the special throttle/switch box for this motor. Usually go for $125 or so on eBay.

I have a 1960 Merc 600 LS LH dockbuster for sale, complete with control box if anyone is interested. Cosmeticly much nicer than this motor. Pick up in MD----trade for that Magnum in Delaware, heeheehee!
