I can honestly say I've never seen one of these before :o Wonder what the story is behind this? Also the price seems cheap to me.

One of the marine mechanics schools in ST PETERSBURG just got rid of all it's old school engines, so there's been quite a few engines similiar to this one for sale in FLORIDA. There was 3 like this one for sale in TAMPA 2 weeks ago.

if its a school motor, you can bet the treads on every nut and bolt are wore out

Man, it sure looks good though. I bought a 25 hp Evinrude a couple a years ago still in the box. It was a 85 model still bolted to the crate with the tank, books and all , elec start and long shaft for 400 bucks. My elderly neighbor bought it to go on a boat somebody else was buying. The other guy backed out on the boat so he was stuck with it . I mounted it on my 16ft carolina, runs great.

My buddy's Dad had one of them on a 16 ft runabout when we were kids, he would drag us around the lakes of Western NC on waterskis.

I think you should buy it BR!

Nah, too much hp for me. I love my 150 on my V, but on my 2nd boat I want 25 - 50 hp so that I can fish cheap cheap cheap! I just thought it was strange to see a brand new old motor like that?

Nice find, but I still cant believe MJ got that deal on that E-bay motor. ;D

I once had that same motor, v-4 85hp....in a word, bulletproof. I loved it. Put alot of time on it and didn't have an ounce of trouble.

Got a 1978 55 Rudy on a jon boat and it will flat out cook the beans on the creeks.

Did I mention it sounds like a huey taking off?
