I used to have a 1986 Sportsman 250 with a 225 Evinrude on a bracket. You will like the way the boat handles, the closed transom, and all the deck space. I also once had a 1985 Sportcraft center console with the SeaDrive. You will like the SeaDrive when it is working. It is just a plain old JohnRude outboard on a lifting bracket. Same powerhead and gearcase components. Getting engine parts will be easy when you need them, but getting parts for the bracket assembly will be challenging. When you get back, you should regularly troll ebay and craigslist and any local boat scrap yards looking for Sea Drive parts.
The Sea Drive is a great concept, but it was very poorly executed. Make sure you get inside and check the transom area near the cut-out for water intrusion. The sooner you fix it the less it will cost.
