Engine poll: please everyone respond.
Ok, Here's my question. I'm considering three different engines.
1: 1989 Evinrude 140 freshwater use. All it needs is paint. (owner suggested a new water pump, but said it was pumping before...mainly age for a new one) $900 bucks 2: 1996 Yamaha 150 saltwater series. Got some corrosion on it, but functions fine. 3?? hrs on it. No prop, or controls included in this price. $1800 asking price. 3) 150 or 175 counter rotating Ocean runner/pro. 1600, and 1800 bucks. 4) Keep looking...

#1 sounds like the easiest way to get your boat on the water. Although you may be disappointed in the performance of the 140 compared to your old motor.

#1 or #4 would be my choices. YAMAHAs are good engines, but when you need parts it gets expensive REAL quick. The 150/175 OMC's are great engines, but I would rather have a standard rotation myself for better prop selection. The 90 degree OMC loopers are plentiful out there, and parts are readily available and cheap by comparison to the rest. Plus you already have the OMC controls.

I'm with Ferm, #1 or #4. #4 because as soon as you get something the deal of the century will get posted in the classified section.
I'll give you my old 90 model 225 with controls and prop for your Mckee.

I posted this earlier cause I think you can do better in the same price category...try to get at least 150 on it...there's a 150 OMC out there for you..be patient, it'll show up and it'll be SO worth it...

Don't count out the 140 OMC, it is one STRONG 140HP. I know my 140 on my 19' BOWRIDER outran a guy in a 18 GLASSTREAM with a 175 EVINRUDE on the back, and to top it off I had 5 people in the boat to him being by himself. Needless to say he came over scratching his head looking at my boat when I pulled up on the bank wondering why my engine was so short.
