Motor for Hammers Project V

[bsteckel]

i am looking for an engine for my 85 fisherman 20' center console. i found a bracket, but looking for an engine.

i have no info decal that shows max hp for my boat .. it is missing in action.

would this be a good motor for my boat? i know a lot about cars, but not much about outboard motors. is this a motor i can work on myself, are parts avaialable?

i assume i should be looking for a 25" shaft .. mine orig had a sea drive on it.

from the other posts .. it looks like it may drink some gas .. but the price seems right.

thanks in advance
