The powerhead on my 1979 115hp Evinrude blew a ring so I have been looking at used powerheads. I found a few options from different people.
1979 85hp powerhead for $250...am told it needs nothing and can be bolted on and is good to go, he tested the motor. I can probably talk him down to $200
1979 115hp powerhead for $300. The guy knows the compression is good and it was running when pulled, but he never ran it. Price is firm
1979 140hp complete motor including controls for $500. Guy pulled it off boat he was parting and was told it ran, but never tested it. Compression is good. Price is firm.
Was any particular hp motor of that year better? Would I loose or gain much with the 90 and 140hp? Are the parts on them, like starter and gasket sets and electronics all the same? I have some parts for the 115 (carb kits, T-stat kits). Are those the same for all?
Thanks!
