I found some outboards on craigslist, will any of these blocks fit the one i have? I will take a picture of the engine block to show you all the hole it has on the block side.

With every engine manufacturer there will be subtile or gross differences in powerheads of the same horsepower, given the year models.
The possibility exists that the foot may be interchangable more readily than the powerhead.
Each one is not running, you should be able to find one that runs for $1500.

Looking to see what years might be interchangable, found one with your same problem.

So far it looks like "92-"99's are the same.
Other than being either carburated or fuel injected.

91+ 2.5L's will all interchange easily. You could even pick-up a 150 OPTIMAX and bolt onto it. If you get the right poppet set-up installed in it, you can also use the earlier 2.0L's and 2.4L's. The 2.0L's, 2.4L's, and 2.5L's all use the same bolt pattern on the mounting surface. EFI or carb makes no difference. The exhaust tuners did change depending upon which HP engine or size you have. As well as changes in the cooling pressure and flow depending upon the displacement. 91+ 2.5L's are pretty plentiful as they tend to be thirsty and most are updating there power. BIGSHRIMPIN has ALOT of parts that will fit that mid section.

BUILDERFL recently picked up a complete late model 2.4L for cheap that needed switchboxes. He took the parts off his old one and was back on the water for under $1K.

Here's his thread.

Is this thing worth anything? i took it off from the other 73'/v20 i had, it looks like new.

this piece is badly rusted

is this suppose to lean to the transom or goes like this

scratch i talk about before

Do i need to sand the whole the bottom and paint it again or with gelcoat alone is enough?
Trailer galvanize crossbar frame getting looking very rusted, Can i sand it and use some special paint?
