Hello,
Need an engine to replace my blown Merc.
Found a good priced one on Craigslist. Going to look at it this weekend.
Owner says it needs a starter, available thru iboats, for about 160-200 dollars.
What I want to know is;
1- How reliable are these engines?
2- How close to reality is the rated horsepower?
3- What does this engine weigh?
4- Would you own one and recommend it to your friends and family?
5- Anything at all I should be wary of with these engines, such as parts availability, strange problems, etc.???
Thanks in advance for any good info.
