Any one have any experience with this motor? It supposedly has around 300 hours and is priced at $2750

Thanks,

Price seems high, but argueably one of the best engines that OMC EVER built. The 150/175 loopers from 91+ have proven themselves time and time again to just run, but they do like there gas burning about the same as most 200's.

my uncle just bought a 97 for 2400. that engine might have had 50 hours max. cleanest one i have seen in a while. you might be able to get them to know 500 off.

I had a 1994 150 on my V and it was a great motor. I think over 12 years I put maybe $800 into the motor and alot of that was for a carb job. The motor was purchased new in 1996 and still ran like new when I sold it a few months back.
