SOLD!

I bought this motor new in ‘89. It's been run on several boats over the years, a Checkmate (that was stored for about 10 years, a tri-toon (for 3 years), and recently for a few 800 ft passes, on a STV. This motor has never had a wrench on it, and it still runs just like the day it came out of the crate. Still has excellent working oil injection, and comes with the remote tank. Low water pickup (Bob’s), that has the water holes above the point, which is great for shallow water. Lower unit had seals replaced for the first time a couple years ago. Sorry, I don't have the control cables that go from motor to front of boat, but the old round type is easy to find.

If you are looking for a dependable motor that does everything from idle to WOT likes it's suppose to, this is it. It is hanging on a hoist ready for you to pick up, or bring your boat and put it straight on. I live about 30 minutes from Columbia, SC. If it does not sell by spring, I will probably put it on another boat.

$3000 firm.

PM me for info. Thanks, DT

I have been questioned about whether this motor is a 2.4 or a 2.5. Serial # 0C218724

Please let me know what y'all think it is, I can't find any specs on the web.

If it's an'89, it is a 2.4 liter.

Is this chrome bore or sleeve? Compression number?

Thanks for the answer on the liter size bullet20vee.

chucky D, I think these are chrome bore, but don't know for sure. Will see if I can get some compression numbers.

Sold. Going on a rebuilt Hydrostream in Maine. Good luck Garry!!! Boy I learned something about checking compression, I did not let it spin enough. When the buyer checked it, got 125 lbs on all cylinders. You are gonna love this motor!!

What do you mean by "I did not let it spin enough"? How long or how many revolutions did you turn it when cranking?

I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it or if it was a discrepancy in the gauge to compared to his.
