Re: New owner - any startup advice?
there was a bracket on ebay last week for $75 with no reserve not sure when it ran or runs out but look on there for an outboard bracket.
On the motor i wouldn't think the head gasket is your problem most likely on a boat it's the motor, head or intake has rusted through. as for an outboard i have a 1987 225 Johnson Looper with stainless 15 x 17 prop i'd sell. It has the factory compression readings on all cylinders of 90 psi even. and the motor has never been in salt water. it's a 25 inch shaft.

Re: New owner - any startup advice?
Macojoe - I understand (VERY WELL) that you have a preference for outboards and you make that known over and over and over again on this board, but to come out and say that "I/O's suck" takes it to another level. Why don't you keep your insults to yourself and let people enjoy their boats the way they are. Maybe it's time for some new material.
PS - I'm sure your outboard isn't maintenance free like you imply. Every time I ever took mine in for work it cost at least $500.
