Mercury 75hp Straw Poll

Hi Guys,

A quick straw poll - Marks out of 10 for a 2000 Mercury 2 stroke & any comments that may be negative (only negative required) high marks demonstrate you're happy.

Well I can only comment on my 1991 2 stroke 75hp. Its been ace. still going strong.
I would have another one if I needed one but its solid, reliable and cheap to run.

Love it

had a 2001 Mariner 90hp 2 stroke which is basically the same engine and it was faultless for the 3 years I had it.

10 out of 10.

I've had a few of both the 75 and 90 and they are pretty solid motors. I've got two 90's due in at the moment and they tend to sell quickly too

I'd go for one if you can!
