So I've been looking at old 40-50 hp Merc motors online. Most of them from the late 70 to early 80s. I kinda want one but don't know squat about outboards. I would like to learn a bit of repair so part of me thinks it would be cool to buy an old motor and bring it back to life. BEsides, those old motors look good on wooden skiffs like mine. So I'd just like a little advise from those of you who know old merc motors? Would this be a bad idea? Also, how dificult is it to convert old remote mercs to tiller? Is that a bad idea? Thanks
