20190516_093241.jpg20190516_093241.jpgthought this was our perfect boat but the guy wasn't all honest about sale engine was seized due to sitting and no ign.i realy don't want to use the 90hp if anyone has any ideas and i dont need bigger go smaller just a boat to take kids out on.
 
Iirc they had a 110 hp version? I don't know those motors all that well and am leaving for work but do some searching on that.
Another thing to do is look for similar boats for sale and see what motors they have in them.
 
Go to an online catalog e g crowley marine and dig out the part number for your specific engine. Then search in google. Try "mercury part number xxxxxx". Hopefully mercury's own online parts catalog is one of the hits. Go to that page and scroll down. Somewhere down you will find "where used" info. All the models using the part number will (should) show.
 
Its pretty much exactly the same as an outboard head. Mercury or Mariner should fit
