I am not bashing him. I feel bad for him or anyone else. A lot of people buy things and really do not check it out 100%. In the end, the dealer who he bought it from should man up and help him. Again if it was a carb Merc I am sure the motor is at least 5-8 years old or older would you agree. How many motors do you think that are that old have 49 hours on it. I think the dealer lied to him. I put on a hour meter several weeks after I bought my boat/motor and it shows 9.8 hours. Well I really have 18 more because I put it on when I brought it in for my 10-20 hour service. On new motors you can put the computer on it and get the acutal hours...hour meter on the boat means nothing. So do not act like I am bashing him. I have bought stuff in the past and got screwed just like everone else.
