    Evinrude 25hp outboard-opinions on buying?

    I'm looking at possibly purchasing this motor, but am not an expert with OB motors. The ad says... This is an early 80s Evinrude outboard. It currently has a 20hp decal on the cowling but it's a 25hp. I bought the motor running last year but never used it as I ended up buying a bigger boat. I...
