APPRAISAL: 1971 Mercury 135 HP Outboard
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2021 11:23 am
What is a reasonable selling price for a 1971 Mercury 135-HP engine, serial number 3116714, as seen below?
Included in the sale would be the original controls, ignition keys, tachometer, and two propellers. I believe the propellers are a 7-pitch (last used on a 28-foot pontoon) and a 14-pitch (originally on a wooden runabout).
Reply to this post with your opinion of the selling price for this engine.
LONG BACKSTORY: Hello everyone. I have a 135 HP six-cylinder Mercury that has been in our family since it was new. When I moved back to Michigan in 2000, I could not part with it. We brought it with us, intending to find a classic Whaler hull for a project. Well, here we are 21 years later. Outboard is still stored in the basement (heated, a/c). When we moved in 2000 we serviced it and winterized it. I have no doubt that it would start right up, if we serviced it again now. It was always a champ, and always serviced regularly. [The engine] is a bit dirty in the pictures.
Thank you,
