I have the 55hp from the 76 lineup on my fishing boat and I like it.

Nothing but the normal to look for. Check the compression, along with the usual like signs of overheat, gearcase oil for water intrusion, etc, etc etc

Should be a great motor. Only issue is that pre-'78 motors use an older style tilt 'n trim system that are difficult to find parts for if they break. If it doesn't have TnT, finding a compatible OEM unit will be difficult and expensive.

I had the same engine. I installed a pisser on it and other than that i never had a problem. Just maintain normal upkeep. Bulletproof from my experience.
