Thread: New Motor Advice

I got a line on a brand new 50 hp Merc, oil injected short shaft motor installed with all new controls for $4 grand. It was a pull off from a pontoon boat that wanted a 70. Is that a good price for a new 50 with a full 2yr warranty? Oh yeah, it has power tilt too.

FF, the average retail on that motor is $4600 for a 2007 motor. That is according to NADA and they are always way low on their estimates.

Something to remember . Theres no such thing as a left over Mercury any more. Mercury sells last years motors as this years motors. So last years will be sold as a 2008.
Wonder what they will do next.

shows a 50 HP MERCURY $3,800 Then controls will sure make it way over the $4000. Does it also come with a Prop? If not get him to throw one in also.
Also I know its a few miles. But jack son Tn GAnder Mountion is clearing out there boats and motors. I know I did see a 50-4-stroke there yesterday. And they had a 25 4-stroke tiller for a little over $2000.

Thanks guys. I had not even thought about a prop. I just assumed one came with it. I also have not asked about trading in my Evinrude 40. Negoation is not one of my strong points.

so does this mean that the 07 models that were sold could have been 06's?
