I picked this up from e-bay for 200. 75hp electric running with recent tune up. Will put this one on the Invader. Anybody have any experience with this motor?

I was watching that motor. Too bad it was too far away - looked like a good deal!

You may get more response in the JEGO forum. Lose the fins. Like the V4s, which are thirsty critters. Also like the fact that it is a mechanical shift.Looks clean,and ready for some work!

It's 1000mi from me and am having it shipped. Got a mark78 shipped from nj for 170 so it should be close to that I hope.

You may have a time constraint seeing that it's a Ebay item. I recently dealt with uShip.com and it was very reasonable,just a thought.

a zillion of these were made. I had a 1961 Johnson 75HP on a 1961 Thompson lapstrake boat. Reliable motor with lotsa torque. Sucked fuel like crazy.

www.aomci.org has a good discussion forum for old outboard motors.

Thx all, the fins will be the first thing to go. Plan on painting it to match the boat.
