I see nothing about horsepower in the ad. A 135 gearcase will be 2:1. To me, 1800 bucks for that motor, especially this time of year, is just way too much.

My thoughts?

Since it's still on the boat, drive the boat. You can't hide leaking trim systems, for example, when your in the lake for a while. If all is well, it seems like it will be all the motor you need to go 80+. :up:

If something is not quite right, pass on it. Another deal will turn up before your ready to hang a motor on the transom.... maybe a 2.5 with the right gears. :doh:

...and always check the compression yourself. It's easy and it tells you so much. Best of luck!

Talked to the guy with the motor, he said compression was 135_140 in all 6 cylinders. One cylinder has a sleeve though. Has papers on powerhead and motor. Has 2:1 gears. He turned 26 chopper on a bass boat 70mph.

Thoughts? Shy away?

Gonna go hear it run next week before he takes it off boat.
