[QUOTE="Iwhackwheat, post: 263905, member: 1247"] 2 years ago a friend and I resurrected his grandpa's old boat. It hadn't been run since the late 90's. It is a 1968 14' lund with a 1979 Merc 9.8 tiller. We used it a handful of times the last two years and with the addition of a trolling motor, the Merc didn't get a lot of use. We went through it pretty well from what we can learn off of youtube- serviced and replaced impeller. Last year it just didn't seem to want to start very well and after breaking the pull rope, we gave up on it and just used the trolling motor. We found a deal on a Honda 9.9 and replaced the Merc. We were reluctant to take the Merc to a repair shop because we didn't know enough about boat motors to even have a clue what repairs should cost. We would like to sell the Merc 9.8 now but are trying to figure out a value. We don't wanna screw anyone over but feel like someone with good outboard knowledge could have it running fine with some minimal effort - replace pull rope, and I felt like the throttle cables might need some work. Would asking $300 be too much? We want to be upfront about issues that we had and get a fair price for it. [/QUOTE]
