Runs good. 20’’ shaft comes with controls oh and yeah I have the hood, lol oh is it laying on the ground ? Does that make it run like crap and be a bad motor ? lol oh, you mean the paint it’s not perfect. Oh you’re right that definitely makes it run like crap. Definitely you can tell how good a motor is going to run by looking at the paint job. lol so funny ! Well hey, those Mercury’s are pretty go buy one of them 😆
