Ferm, thanks for the comeback. Its funny you mention corrosion on the heads. I went to look at a Aquasport 215 in Norfolk, Va (12 hour round trip) and it had excessive corrosion on one side of the head, Johnson 225. I decided not to buy it. the one I'm going to look at tomorrow has always been maintained but slip kept. So I doubt he flushed the motor after each trip.

Thirsty from what I've heard but can run 2,000 hrs if you're lucky.

The 200 and 225 I believe was more prone to blowing than the 150 from that year.

Check with a long time Evinrude dealer and ask about it.

wrong the 200 / 225 was a better motor than those 150 / 175 were just as ferm said that was the only issue but those are rock solid great motors
