    Search around and find one of the last year 2.5 2strokes whatever brand it doesn't matter. I think the last year merc made them was 2001?

    I don't - but they have a very good reputation and perform very well and are light as well.

    Hmm have had 3 Honda ATV, 2 Honda generators, 2 honda lawnmowers,1 x 9.9 Honda outboard..DAMN HEAVY..LOL
    Everything on that list is still running except 1 damn lawnmower..thing crapped out after only 22 years..
    Don't know where any of these were built...just reliable..IMO..
    IT'S YOUR hard earned $$$$ you need to be confident in the item you purchased..
    Good luck with the outboard AND the hunt.
    Cheers

    As much as I LOVE Honda stuff, I'd step back from a made in china one too.

    I'd look at suzuki or yamaha as long as they are made in Japan.

    If no luck there, I'd look for a mint used japan Honda
