[scottyboy]

Anyone interested in doing a deal with me? ive got a merc 175 and i need an xr2 0r 2.5 ?

 

[Gav]

how olds the merc175?

 

[scottyboy]

I think its a blue band not sure but its been rebuilt by challenger marine. The cowlings have been resprayed in xr2 colours so cant be sure ! the trim pump is fitted in the boat 2 which makes me think its an early one! runs nice though and starts on the button! compressions are all good to!
