    "For sale" 1500 Merc's 15" mid's

    I have two 1977 Merc 1500's that I have converted to 15". They were originally 20" but I found a couple of 15" mid sections online, had them professionally stripped and painted then installed the proper short shafts, new impellers and fluids. Both engines run strong and come with power...
