If i can get the OX66 complete with binaccle cables keys etc, for $3500 should i jump on it? Only issue its 550lbs. Talked with the owner it has 530 hours but its a 30" shaft. He will let it go for $3500.

My dad just passed away and i had to use $520 of the outboard money to cover what insurance did not on the funeral and burial expenses. So i have $3000 to find an outboard.

hey I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't know how much the 250 weighed. It is a great engine though. I have a 2.6L 225 Yamaha. It is the same weight as all the 150-200 2.6L's. they are older motors but I still see good clean ones every once and a while. Also watch for a V6 Excel. That's what they called the early 225's

I am really worried about the shaft length on the OX66. If it wasn't for that i might have already bought it.

Sorry about your dad, know the feeling as I lost mine 9 years ago. As for the YAMAHA 250, it is too heavy and way out of it's element for a V-20. The 76 degree YAMAHA's are best suited for pushing heavy loads as they drink as much fuel as the old OMC V-8's did, but make almost as much torque as they did. For a bracketed boat in teh 200HP range, you won't find a much better match than the older 2.5L MERCURY. They had a long production run, parts are easy to find, pretty reliable once you removed the oil injection, and they are easy to work on if you find a carbed engine.

Found a couple more motors that may work, not sure if they are 2.5L or a 3.0L. May have to do some "horse trading" to get one.

The 2.5L came out in 90, but 91 still had some 2.4L engines coming out with steel sleeved engines.
