Thanks Denny! That's alot of info! I believe it's a late 80's evinrude that was overhauled and has 25 hours on it. It seems like all used boats have overhauled or rebuilt engines!
No matter what I get, it will be an upgrade from the 1969 Cobia my dad and I had in 1988...and it will definitely be an upgrade from the 1991 Seahart Corona I had in 2007.
I checked out a 1979 Cruisers Inc. Bonanza with a 1991 Evinrude 175 over the weekend as well. The transom looked good...I gave it the "shake the motor plate " test and it was good. I also checked out a 1985 Proline 21 WA with an Evinrude 175. Not bad...the Bonanza was nicer.
But...I really like the sound of the Seafari...gotta check it out.
