[Tinlizzy]

I am thinking about buying this 73' 65 HP Rude, for my boat instead of fixing the old lunker motor. what are your opinions on this motor? Is it strong? parts availability etc. Thanks for the help guys.

I know I just went to get some parts for my '73 85HP Johnson last week and it seemed like they could get just about every nut, bolt, and screw. So I wouldn't worry about parts availability for a while.

If you get it, first thing you do is change out the thermostat and the impeller.
