I've got a 9.9 HP Mercury on a stand, in the garage, that hasn't seen water (or the light of day for that matter) in well over 25 years. My brother bought it new in '79 or '80? We used to run it on a little aluminum row boat. The 9.9 made it legal for some of the lakes around here that had limits.
That boat was stolen from the back lot of my brother's old shop in the early 90s , but the motor is still around.
I've thought about selling it, but figured it would just be a headache so someone, so never bothered. Being a Merc, parts are probably easier to source?

Maybe I should have typed the topic line like this: OLD outboard motors. I don't think it's THAT old since I was born in the early 50s too.
