Mercury 4-stroke 6hp Outboard Motor (15” Shaft Length) - Like New

We have a brand new 6HP Mercury 4-stroke outboard for sale (the stand in the photos is *not* included in the sale). It came with a dinghy we purchased, and we have a different outboard better suited to our needs, so we are selling this one. 6hp outboards are the largest size outboards that come with a top tank and is also equipped with the fitting for a long-range tank. This gives you a great back up if the fuel in your long-range tank gets contaminated or if you run out of fuel a few miles from the boat, you simply switch over to the built in tank (as long as you remember to keep it full) and you are back in business. You can also just use the top tank which gives you a range of about 9 miles. This outboard is in like new condition as you can see from the photos, a few light scuffs on the back of the cowl / cover but other wise its in the same condition as if you walked into west marine and bought one today. This same motor at West Marine is $1899.00 (plus tax). We are selling ours for $1600 - please don’t waste either of our time w low-ball offers. Cash in hand and you pick up in the San Diego area.
