ok ,hello and yes I got another question . Recently I had asked about the compression on that 78 70 hp rude, now I have another ?. I took that 70 hp to a respectable boat shop here in town and it was there almost 4 weeks, I got it back yesterday, all they could tell me was that it was low on compression, they said it had 100 on #1, and 75 on #'s 2 and 3. That told me the engine was junk. So instead of paying $1200 to $1400 to get it rebuilt, Ive looked around and found a 1989 or 90 75 hp Evinrude for $1500 that another respectable mechanic has been thru and redone the lower end,such as water pump ,seals, thermostat. he said the power head had 132 to 135 across all 3 cylinders on compression ,so he didnt do alot to the top end. So I guess my question would be, comparing the 1978 70 hp to the 1989 or 90 75 hp , what kinda hp diffrence is there, if any?
I say 1989 or 90 because it was dark last night and I couldnt read the model number to determine the actuall year, Im going on what the mechanic told me.
One more thing is , is $1500 a good price for that 75 hp Evinrude wether if its a 89 or 90. what do you all think on that ?
Thanks for yalls input in the past.
