With Mercury/Mariner engines going up again later this month by 10 to 15% on some models, it might be a bigger bargin than you think

A few months back all you wanted was a 300 , now its a 350 ... If its genuine I'd have a go .. bargains like that dont come along every day of the week .. bet its gone by now

Codders, a little bird tells me that your boat is looking a little neglcted in a 10 bob marina. With a deal this good, would it not be good to get the engine bought, sort the boat and either get some good use out of it or flog it? Could a 350 be a pipe dream? Only my opinion.

He's still filling the piggy bank for a second trailer, so a little bird told me

Edit, hope we're not seeing the same bird

It may be a 10bob marina but it is in one of the most stunning locations you can find.

It's only looking neglected because I don't want to clean the tubes until she is out of the water and I can apply some floor sealant - no point in rubbing it all off for it to oxidize again.

You are right about the trailer - that robbing git from Guernsey has made my life a misery - it's not nice having paid for a trailer to be told - ahh but we didn't say what trailer - I will give you any old trailer...............

I am spending every penny I have on launching my new business at the moment but the rewards should be pretty high.

And anyway what business is it of yours???

I guarantee if I found a brand new Verado 350 for that price I would find the money!!!

No point in buying the 275 - not enough gain over my lovely 2 stroke 225!!!
