I'm not sure if theres a difference between a 225 Evinrude an the 1.6L seadrive but could that be correct?
He's asking 2500 for it

Yeah once you get those electrical bugs in there it is a giant pain to fix it, unless of course you have an endless budget or are really a mech. The boat looks really good though and if you can figure out the bugs then it would be a great deal. If you look at this one, pop the flywheel off and check the timer magnets. That in conjunction with my stator is what gave me such a pain. Good luck.

well guys thanks for all the help! I'm buying Preston757's '79 v20. He has some issues with the motor but I'm going to buy it and re-ring / hone the motor. Should be a good boat it looks like he's taken good care of it!!
The boat with the Seadrive looked nice, but the owner had no clue about boats and I'd much rather work on a normal outboard than a seadrive.
