Spare, Ferm, anybody!
What's the consensus on these older Nissan motors. I've never heard anything really bad to remember it. Other than it doesn't look as if it has tilt/trim, this one looks like its in decent shape. Flyfishin is looking at this boat/motor/trailer combo and thinking about swapping his 2007 14' enclosed trailer for it. Thanks guys.....

A Nissan is what my boss just blew up, be sure to premix.

BR, all i see is a red x. but i have a 4 year old tohatsu 40 on a 13 ft whaler and have enjoyed it so far. as far as i can tell it is a very simple motor with very simple maintenance. i know they have fuel injected models, but mine is a carb model. i went from a 30 hp mariner(yamaha) to this 40 hp and three carbs instead of one, so it burns more gas, but on this skiff, that is not much of a factor. i use the oil injection, but as far as i know the only warning you get if it fails is a locked motor. if your talking about larger hp, i haven't heard much good or bad...

Phat - The red X is a '88 or '89 40 hp Nissan ob hanging on the tranny of a 14' mckee craft of about the same year. Everything I'm seeing & hearing is these are not bad motors. RB is right on with the premix.

Thanks Spare. So far Fly is wheelin and dealin....we've sent the pics of his enclosed trailer to this fella this morning to try and work out a trade. I told Fly we'll check the compression and if all checks out we'll drag it home, replace the h2o pump impeller, change LU oil, premix the fuel and run that Nissahatsu until it sh!ts the bed!
I love the little Mckee's. IMO they are as good or better than the Whalers. I've had my dad's out 3 miles on a perfect weather day. Would love to have a 50hp 4 stroke on one  Thanks for everyone's input.

I've got a 60 Merc on my 14, if I ever get time to get it out from under the cover I'll take some pics. That 60 Merc idles as good as any four stroke, and is allmost as quiet
