Default Re: Looky what I found...

Gille, you're right about the 230 and the 250 being nearly the same except for bore and stroke. The drive unit is not, however, compatible with modern units. But all the parts for your are still available, just mostly aftermarket. Changing over to a modern transom group and outdrive is fairly easy, as well. But with care that motor is nearly bulletproof.
