Searching for used Mercury Outboards
I’m new to this site and I was wondering if there were any members who have any Mercury outboards for sale. I own a Scarab 302 Sport with 2000 Merc 225 EFI.
I wanted to upgrade to four-stroke so that I can save on fuel and oil. Are there any used 250 / 300 Verados (with decent hours) available with complete rigging? I would’ve preferred to buy them as a pair. I also wouldn’t mind purchasing a pair of Optimax’s if no Verados are available (same 250/300 hp rating).
If there aren’t any on this site, is there anyone or a company in Miami who I can purchase engines from?

I upgraded my Verado 300s to 400s last year, work done by Big Thunder Marine at LOTO. It's been quite awhile since I checked, but last I asked they still had the 300s. They were 2014 engines with about 150 hours on them. You can try calling Big Thunder and ask. If you call ask for Ed Chapman or Jeremy Anderson, either should know if they still have them.

30 inch shafts. They were on a 34 NorTech CC. This weekend is the shootout at LOTO, so they may actually be participating in a lot of stuff and have skeleton staff available. Typo in my last post - Ed Champion.

Looking for a new shop in Loto as the previous shop we were at has really rubbed us wrong.
Also OP check scream and fly.com. They have a lot of outboard stuff.
