[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 74256, member: 826"] [b]Yeah I agree with the underpowered statement. I had (still have) my 1980 7.5 hp Chrysler. I just yesterday found a 1957 18 hp Evinrude that I purchased for $150.00. It is in great shape for the year, compression & spark are real good. Ditto for the prop. Has a tiller control & also the ability to hook up to a steering & throttle/shift outfit. It also has the ability to add electric start. 8) The guy said he purchased the motor 7 years ago from one of his buddies after he had it tuned up & had a new prop & impeller installed. The guy never got to use it so it just hung on his wall. In case anybody is wondering, the motor weighs 75 lbs (yes I weighed it) & came with two pressurized gas tanks. Funny thing about this is, on craigslist there was another guy selling the exact same motor only his was a 1955 with no prop, tank or pressurized hose & he was asking $250.00 :shock: Below is the pic of my "new" :wink: motor (no, it hasn't been repainted either by me or the guy I bought it from).[/b] [/QUOTE]
