Hey gang thinking of purchasing an 87 Merc 150 XR2 to go on my Champ 18, good compression all across (119), oil injection connected and working with no issues (per seller?). I'm moving away from an earlier model Evinrude (1982) 235hp. Evinrude to cold natured and hard starting until good an warmed up, also wanting something lighter. Asking 2000 but negotiating, looking to try and get down to 1500 to 1700. Any thoughts?
