Does anybody know of anyone or anyplace - locally, or within reasonable limits - that may have a motor (150 Merc.) for sale? Will be making some calls around to local marinas today...but I thought maybe I'd put it out there and see if there might be someone who messes with them on the side or know someone who does. Thanks.

Where is local? Merritt Marine in Hillsborough, NC, Carl Merritt usually keeps engines of assorted HP rebuilt and ready. Smiles, G

I wouldn't mind giving them a call. Do you have a # or someway to get a hold of someone. Really do appreciate it.

I go to Google and type in Merritt Marine Hillsborough, NC They have an e-mail If I can find an old shop ticket it will have his number. Thanks, G

Hey Glenn, Thanks for the information! My wife gave Carl a call this morning, and although he did not have what I was looking for right now - he was more than helpful with information regarding another engine we were looking at. Anyone ever need any help with engines -- Carl Merritt is a real good guy to go to!! Highly recommended.

Hey Tim: Glad to be of help to a fellow fisherman. Have needed help before and I am sure I will need it again. I have known Carl many years and had him repair my boats & engines. Have bought several engines from him and never a problem. Tight lines & smiles. G
