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

[ericrn]

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 trim(one is not installed) and controls. Leak down is 4% on one 6% on the other. Looking to ge $1750 each or both for $3000. I will also throw in a couple of chopper props.
