1984 Evinrude 150 questions?

[garbubba]

went looking for a truck this afternoon, found an outboard motor.

Guy selling the truck owns a marine shop, had a sweet v-20 with a 150 yammie for sale. Also had a 1984 evinrude 150, said it was good to go, young man was gifted the boat & repowered with a $14,000 etec!

Asking $1000 but he already said he'd take less, guy is boat and motor poor. :-) hardly room to park or work.

First thing, will my controls, lower unit & tilt & trim from a 1988 evinrude 225 fit this thing? Guy at the shop said it would. planning to sell the boat, don't really need two, but spare parts is always good right?

Second how's this motor do on a v-20?

Last, what are the worries with this engine, it's cross-flow, right? any likely issues?

thanks, Doug
