    Wtb Johnson/ Evinrude offshore 1

    Thought I would put this out there to see if anyone has a pair of mid 80's V8 offshore 1 outboards collecting dust and rust. I would bring them up to modern spec with direct fuel injection and such. Thanks for stopping by.

    Wow, that’s a steal!

    Had not seen that ad.

    A stack of spares too.
    Including what looks like another pair of unobtanium SE housings.

    Tough to tell how much the salt has gotten to them though.

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Agreed.

    But, has better chance of winning the lottery than finding a pair of unobtaniums!

    Hi Affromax, I am asking this question because most people do not understand the difference between the Offshore 1 and the Evinrude/Johnson V8. Are you familiar with the 3.5 liter engines? Also the lower units that come on these engines are different than the normal lower. They are not designed for everyday use near the docks. The majority of parts for these engines are not available anymore and most not compatible with V8 motor components. They are also only truly happy when they are run flat out. They certainly draw a lot of attention when you start them at the dock because of the large cloud they emit. The two engines in the picture are mine. One is a standard rotation motor and one is a counter rotation motor. The are twin plug cylinder head, carburetor, and twin pinion shiftable lowers ( when the motor is off and start in gear). I have converted the prop shaft to Mercury prop design. I kept snapping the original shafts and it gives more options for props.
    Instigators exactly right and understands the rarity of the outboards. That is because most were used for racing and met their fate on the course.
    Thanks Charger70

    The Craig’s list motors have been for sale for a while. A lot of goodies there. I believe he started at 12,000.000

    What would be a realistic horsepower & rpm in race trim?

    I do understand that they are a very unique scenario. I will PM you. Curious about who did your prop shafts

    Cool. Glad I could help. How much did you end up paying him? If you don't mind me asking.

    Within a couple hundred of what he was asking. Anything less would probably border on the category of abuse.
