Mercury 175 hp outboard motor / engine

Description

Mercury 175 hp outboard motor / engine. Condition is "Used".  Listing this engine again because of a deadbeat ebayer who didn't pay the first time.  This is a used 175 hp outboard engine.  I bought this engine in 2005 off ebay and never used it.  After purchase I realized it wasn't the correct engine for my boat and I abandoned the project.  It does not have a prop or tilt/trim.  It is a LONG shaft motor.  I printed the ebay auction when I purchased and saved paperwork.  I have included copies of the auction from when I purchased.  I make zero guarantees about the accuracy of anything.  I can ONLY guarantee the following:  1. I have never used the engine since purchase.  2. I started engine about 1.5 years ago, ran carbs out of fuel, and fogged. It runs and sounds good.  3.  I tested compression in all cylinders and all were good.  I make no guarantees aside from the 3 things just listed.  Engine stand comes with.  NO RESERVE!  LOCAL PICKUP ONLY!  IMMEDIATE PAYMENT REQUIRED AT AUCTION END.
