I have a 2001 mercury 25 that I bought without a title for parts because I thought I blew mine up. Turns out I just needed a gasket. Anyways so with that I don’t need this motor just sitting around. The only reason I say it’s a parts motor is because I don’t have a title for it. I put a new water pump in it and got it running if you follow the links below I have videos of it running in gear and peeing like it should. I’m asking 900 OBO for it may be open to trades. Follow link below to see it running.
