I'm looking at getting a 1973 65 hp evinrude to replace the 1968 55 hp evinrude that was on the boat. Simple question as I want to just take the new motor and bolt it on at the guys house is are the mounting holes going to match are they universal? Or should I plan on bringing my drill and using it?

Can not speak for those older motors. The BIA standards were not adopted until the early 80's

Make a cardboard template and go measure.
