I'd offer him 3 for it, I bought a running electric start big twin 40 + a parts motor and spare starter for $200 in the summer, this seems like a christmas money recovery price.

Well where do you guys live? I live in NJ and outboard motor prices are really high... this is considered to be cheap. What year do you think it is? Will call tomorow

Ah good ole NJ, remember my trip to Newark well

I live 20 mins from Ottawa Ontario, that motor looks like a 74.

I just pm'd you a motor that's about 1.5 hrs from here, 33hp electric start evinrude that's been redone for $150.

That being said, those 25 are fine runners, smooth and quiet, light wieghted compared to power and reliable. If things are like he says i would talk a little price with him. Not familiar with your exact type of boat, but a 25 on a 14 sounds like a fine combination to me. If this is a fresh water motor, even better.

Re: HELP! 25 hp evinrude!

It looks a lot like a motor that was on eBay a month ago. Inspect motor prior to price negoitiating. Bring along compression tester, spark tester and listen to it run in a barrell, these motors don't run on muffs.

Pull one plug wire at a time while it's running, it shouldn't tumble or fall on it's a**. If it does, run, do not walt away.

That being said, these are reliable motors. I've got a 20 and a 25, both 72's that I use on my 14 ft Grumman. Run great with little maintaince.
