SIDEBAR-

The Towboat US guy was driving an 80's 250 sportsman and I fell in love. So maybe a whole new rig is in the works.... ;)

I would look around a bit. You can find REALLY late model 2 stroke carb motors for under $4K in the 200/225 range. The 150/175 EAGLE motors are known as OMC's BEST engine ever, so that is a BIG reason for them holding there value so well. The only way to know for certain that you are getting oil is to ditch the VRO and pre-mix.

The EAGLE series is what they called the 60 degree loopers. They came out in 90/91 in OMC in the 150/175, and in 95 in the V-4's. The eagle series is what you have now.

What's your thoughts on a Yamaha instead? This one is with controls, tank, gauges, and prop.

Or there is another 2000 Johnson 150 for about the same on there.

here's what ya need

http://wilmington.craigslist.org/boa/976388019.html

1997 Evinrude Ocean Pro with less than 200 hours. Excellent condition with no rust. Compression even on all cylinders. Engine is 25 inch shaft with standard rotation. Recent lower unit oil change and New Tilt and Trim Motor.

Extremely clean and sound engine. You will not find one like this anywhere.
Engine only. No prop or controls. I can assist in getting wiring harness and cables. Engine hood is Johnson as the Evinrude hood was stolen off my boat.

$2850

I have already been talking to that guy. He sold that engine but has another 97 that he is getting rid of. I was going to get some pics of it before I headed down his way.

I have been scowering Craigslist, ebay, THT, etc looking, hopefully I can find what I need.

Quickest way there:

Out of Suffolk 58 to 264
Exit Victory Blvd, turn left
At third light, Airline Blvd turn right
Continue on Airline until you get to Mosberth Resturant right hand side of street.
Turn right on Rodman Ave.
Go through the second or third stop light. (If it's green) :-)
He is on the right hand side of the street, blue building

Ron's Marine & Equipment Inc
2406 Rodman Ave, Portsmouth, VA
(757) 397-3451

If you just get off at the Portsmouth BLVD exit (only exit and direction you can go) and then just go dowm a mile and turn right on Rodman and they are on your right. Just an easier way to go.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:59 AM.
