Hi all,
My mercury 9.8 just quit on me, low compression on the lower cylinder- and BIG repair.
I need an engine! I'm about loosing it, how the hell am I supposed to fish?!?!?
18 HP or less would work on my boat, more than willing to pay a fair price for a good engine.
Please help me out! Checked Ebay and CL with no luck!

Call local Marinas and boat dealerships.
If you go new, I would suggest Yamaha. I've got a new one two years ago, not a single hiccup yet, haven't even needed to change plugs. And I run it hard, still, no problems with it. 15hp 2 stroke Yamaha...

Everybody likes to support their own items in terms of brands... but I have to totally agree with Kafelafish on the yamahas. I have a 25 hp Merc. which is a 2007. yes it's quiet, and very reliable, but i rode in a 40 hp yamaha last weekend, and at full throttle you didn't even have to shout at all.
