Re: Parts Motor?
I purchased a '65 40hp evinrude 'parts' motor that had been sitting outside for 15 years. It still turned over w/compression, so I serviced the magneto, carb, fuel lines, impeller and gear lube and replaced some wiring that was rotted. Then I found a '71 14' yarcraft fiberglass boat w/trailer to put it on. Idles wicked slow, tops out at 28mph and is surprisingly good on gas (6 gallons lasts all day). $325 plus my time and I have a really cool boat!
