Got it all home and safely unloaded and on the stand.  Thanks for everything.  😎

Let me know what you think of the pickles.

BTW, title says it is a 1973 model.  Looking forward to getting it mounted and a try out.

Transom adapter looks like it will fit with little to no adjustment!

Thanks.  I hope I like it.  My current setup works very well.  But.  Better is always better.  Sure worth a whirl for $750.  It does look to be a good motor - very clean except where it shouldn't be.

I think it’ll make a big difference.  Let us know how it works out.   I’ll be back at Taney week of August 24.

I love those motors so much!   Keep her tuned and maintained and she'll run forever. 👍

That's my theory.  Glad to hear you have a high opinion of them.  I take good care of my stuff, so fully expect it to outlive me.

Those are great engines, IMO one of the best made for longevity.  You can replace the whole ignition system for less than a Hundo.

This would've been great on the boat you just got....

I would have liked to have this motor but really it would not be good for the boat I am trying to buy(why cant people answer the phone??).  That boat needs a 9.9/15hp short shaft, all the rocker built into it would take too much usefulness away from the jet.  However I have the very first outboard I ever owned, a 1992 evinrude 15hp that would be perfect.
