Found this motor on North Jersey craiglist. Its going on my SB16. You Jersey guys sure now how to take care of a motor. Came from Lake Hopatong got there Tuesday morning as salesman was opening up marina. (He knew I was coming). Motor has 110 compression on all cyls. You could eat off the motor it is so clean. It came with controls, harness, ans a OMC SS prop that still has the paint on the blades. All for $500!!!
Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then !!!

That powerhead/motor sat for 5 years, outside. It started right up, ran good and spit water. And the price was right;)

I did not notice the name of the Marina. The address was 157 Route 181 which is Woodport Rd. The sell Chapparels and Pontoon boats. The salesmans name was Dennis. He said it was on an old 18' trihull SeaRay and the owner passed away. There were a few Marinas right in the vicinity.

How do you guys run your boats in such shallow water???:D

This year was the 5'-0" lowering of the lake for dock and seawall repair. Made the season a little shorter this year. But it lets you know where all the objects are in the lake.

Great find! Looks clean as a whistle. I'm amazed they let it go so cheap.

I had an Evinrude 100 XP, ran the hell out of it for ten years. With proper maintenance, you just cannot hurt those V-4's.
