Got an evinrude 9.5 sport twin from 1969 for 80$ the other day. Lower unit seems good and ive got it running in a bucket well enough to warrant a lake test and a good ol fashion sea foaming. I will have to humiliate it by bringing 6 horse w me in case of breakdown--its never stranded me. Ill probably clean the points and check the coils no matter what the lake test says, along with a carb job. Pretty good find i think even if i put a couple hundo in it, nice winter project if the cb 750 doesnt keep my hands full.
I can get 13 mph by gps with the 6 horse, lets see what this one does. Setup is a 14 ft semi v and i have to sit on middle seat for top speed(use tiller extension). 13 mph is actually pretty decent for my little boat and i trust no engine more than an old omc 6 horse so i may sell this one after i get it running like new again.
