    Like anything it all depends on how the last owners look after it :) With the use of the internet you will be able to get any parts that you can't get in your local marine shop. I have about 4 bluebands and find them great little engines but then again I like mercury the next guy that comes along might tell you to use it as an anchor and get a johnson :)

    They are a good engine just go on any of the sites like done deal or adverts.ie and you will see more old merc's on boats than any of the other make of engine that been said I also have old evinrude's, johnson's and seagulls that run like new so like I said it all depends on how they were looked after and if they were used in salt water.
