Guy advertised it as an 84, but turns out it's a 1983. It is nearly identical to my 1987 sitting next to it, other than the red stripes. The rod boxes are bigger in the 1983 & look to be made of different plastic. The '87 has a seat & cushion over the live well with an attached drain, the '83 has a similar setup but the box is loose with tie-downs & no drain.
Went through the boat pretty well today, everything checks out fine, needs a scupper & hose replaced, the cabin door fell off, the glovebox needs rebuilt (been there before on all three!) Bow rails are AL, with stainless fittings, is that normal?, the '87 is all stainless. Bimini is shot, frame may be OK. Fish finder screen is sunburned. One weird thing, went to pull the goofy anchor (oysters growing on it, 18 inch chain & 20 feet of rode!) & the hawse pipe just goes through the deck & not the shelf beneath into the rope locker!? The line piled up on the shelf! Seems it would flood the cuddy when you hauled anchor (if you had any line on it). Easy fixes mostly & years ago a hurricane delivered an anchor,chain & rode to me that's been sitting around :-)

I'm selling whole or parting out the motor & plan to spend the proceeds fixing up a few things on the hull & then mounting my '94 Mercury 200 on it & then put it up for sale (after a few trips offshore).
It's at Classifieds - "Blown 225 Evinrude" Already got new canvas & cover for the bimini on the cheap! Have a source for a boarding platform. & maybe another pedestal seat, I took that seat box out today & I like it! Took out about 100 stray screws & abandoned gadgets today too. Pulling the tank cover next, just to make sure.

This part is a blast
Always liked taking things apart, even got pretty good at putting them together after a few years. ;-)
I Like taking this old 225 apart for two reasons, one - never got deep inside a 2-stroke before & two - I don't have to put it back together!! Much more fun this way. So far it looks pretty good, top cylinder on the Stb side was toast. Only broke off one bolt so far.

Broke one head cover bolt when I was taking it apart, things looked pretty good but then I got that head cover off & the wrist pin fell out! The piston, or what was left of it, was sideways in the cylinder. Having more troubles with the bolts on the midsection, is that even worth taking apart?
I'm thinking what's left of this beast may just be taking a ride to the scrapyard.
