What year is this outboard?

[mozzie1957]

Could someone please tell me what year this outboard is? It's a Mercury Black Max 200 hp with serial no OC274092? Been told a '99, but have serious doubts. Thanks in advance.

OC........ is basically 1988-1989.

Thanks for that. Was told, by a dealer, that it was a '99 but had some serious issues with his yarn.

Run, run away from that dealer mate.

Big story attached to this. I will post all, soon, but have to attend to a coupla matters first. Then all will be told, and all forewarned.

Just a question mate.......was it attached to a boat or were you looking for just a motor?

[mozzie1957]

It's attached to a boat. Long story and one that I'll be sharing after everything has been sorted.
