Hello, all first time posting here hope I am in the right spot. I looking at buy a 77 NordicII 22' , the motor has been changed it a OMC 302 225 hp, it sound nice and tight. It look's like they did some changes to the motor mounts to use this motor and the stern drive says 175 I am guessing it's a OMC drive. He said the motor and drive was out of a SeaRay 78 as one. Now I don't know very much about stern drives but are those old ones hard to get parts for? Is the number 175 on the stern drive mean that is what horse power it can handle? The boat is missing the trim motor so I can't test that, do the gears go bad in that gear box for the trim & tilt. I was thinking buying it without testing the trim part and put a new trim motor myself. He's asking 3000.00 for it it need's new interior and the trailer needs a couple of tires. I thought I would offer him 1500.00 If anyone has any thoughts, I would love to hear them. Thanks
