    2015 115 Mercury

    I'm looking into buying a 2015 Ranger rt188c with a 115 Mercury on it. The boat looks brand-new but the dealership is telling me they can't get the hours off of it . Has anyone had this problem before?

    I think that Mercury would block being able to remove the hours on a motor to stop people from being able to sell a used motor as new. If you want to see how many hours you put on the motor, just put an hour meter on it.

    Several different "115" engine versions. Perhaps provide the Engine Serial Number, as it's really the only accurate identifier.
