Ok i repowered my boat with a 1977 70hp motor this last spring, after going with a much smaller prop it finally powered my fiberglass trihull up on a plane and across the water.... SLOWLY. well last week i had dad out fishing and the motor would not start........upon inspection water in the #2 hole, pulled the head not a bad head gasket, pulled the exhaust. showed it was probably leaking in there. so now i either spend $100 on the gaskets for this underpowered unit and get back out quickly. or i start hunting for something around a 115 hp
so i am looking for a 100- 125hp outboard engine used as i only can justify spending up to $1000 on this boat. 20 inch shaft

if anyone needs parts for a 1977 70hp evinrude or wants to buy the unit let me know.
