Not especially no, and I owned a merc small motor from that generation at one time. I paddled home from several duck hunts, and I generally keep my equipment well tuned and regularly serviced. It would rank among my last choices of old motors from the 80’s, second only to a Chrysler. My first choice would be a 2 cylinder Johnston/evinrude from the late 80’s to mid 90’s.

siwash Posted Wednesday at 03:04 AM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 03:04 AM h that's too bad! I just put in a conditional offer... going tomorrow.. the boat is mine as long as I like what I see in person... Motor will be started for me... and it runs well - at least now it does. I like the boat.. 16.5 x 67" I'll post pics when I get it home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted Wednesday at 04:06 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:06 AM Well, if the motor runs and the boat doesn’t leak an old motor can be replaced down the road should it give you grief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
