I've been communicating with a craigslist seller who has a never used SEI sterndrive for sale at $550. He ordered it for a 1979 boat with a 228 HP Mercruiser motor and found out his transom was rotten so has never used it. I have a 1983 MCM228R (serial #6285627 ) with an "R" drive (serial #6289715). The pictures he has sent me look likes it's a match for what I presently have. I asked him for a serial number, but he claims they never sent him one. My gear ratio is 1.50:1 so I can rotate my present sterndrive (which is off the boat) and measure the prop rotation, I could do the same for his sterndrive to see if they match. Does this sound like something I should drive 2 hours to check out?
