Mercury FLW Deal.

[basscat tyler]

I've got a 2002 Mercury. No problems here. Had a 96 Johnson 10 years ago. That motor took a shit

[Rude196]

What engine did Randall Tharp run before he switched to Yamaha???... Dan

The one he was a successful angler with

I'll take my two old Mercs any day over anything else! 96 EFI and a 2002 EFI absolutely flawless condition. A rude or yammy is s pretty rare sight round these parts ya hear.

[CaymasMan250]

I would guess anything older than the FICHT abominations....

I had one of them junkie things on a ranger,nthey out an Etec on it and blew the power head more than once. It's someone else's problem now.

[duncankopprichardson]

My ‘97 intruder is still running under another owner. Switched to a pro xs.

[basscat tyler]

The one he was a successful angler with

That was before he moved to the big leagues??? JK. Didn't he win an Elite tournament a couple years ago while running a Yamaha??

[pavi69]

Too bad the anglers will never see any of the Mercury sponsor dollars. Fifty years and still basically fruit jar tournaments.

[Jim Dunn]

9yr old 225 Opti , not many hrs 170 in fact, no issues at all except one bad coil. First motor was a rude, no trouble with it either, but, the Ficht made me stay with Mercury for life.

[TownesZ21]

Evinrude. In fact i was his co before he switched and boy was he cussing rude

Any details on why?

[Meadows]

The one he was a successful angler with

You mean the one that single handedly cost him a classic at guntersville?

Didnt take him long to switch after that. Justin Lucas wasn’t too far behind him either.

[basscat tyler]

He didn't look that pissed when he was sitting in his boat while they were working on his Rude

[Ben Danbleume]

I think Morris owns a substantial stake in Mercury Marine, if you remember right. They used to changed back and forth between Mercs and Evinrudes, every few years, been nothing but Mercury for at least 20 years.

[Waterfowlmagnet]

5 year warranty? There is a reason you never see an older mercury on the water.

You'll have a limit in no time with that bait.

[Wil Holmes]

Old Mercs all over the waters here in AL. Those original Merc XR6 plus EFI motors still run like rapped apes.

[greendragon]

I ran my 1996 Ranger with a 1996 Mercury EFI for 18 years with no problem. It is still running.

[TNStratos1]

I wonder....what is considered old. lol

[dartag1829]

My 2002 has a 150 EFI that runs like a champ. The Pro's don't care about old motors as they get a new one every year. They have to have a 2013 or newer boat to qualify for Ranger Cup. They have service crews at every big event.

[stratos284]

So is this a Merc money for FLW thread or a brand pissin contest? I got lost by post 2
