yeah the ran great when they were running, but they had a cooling flaw that the 6 cyl would fry when it chose to. when they ran they ran.

I had the same motor but a 90hp in line 6. Wasn't my favorite of the 15-20 outboards I've had over the years....it did seem to have alot of power. It pushed my 19' 10" Angler CC 40mph, tubes, skiers kneeboards etc. Yep, when it ran well, it RAN.
