Might be looking at one. Any reason to stay away from one of these motors, besides age? Says it running good with a new carb kit just put in.

Thanks

No reason. Those are arguably the absolute best designed outboards ever produced. Ever.

It is just a measly 3hp, but if that horsepower is adequate, that outboard is very well designed, so durability and reliability are a non issue. Parts are still very easy to come by too. For example, the carb kit from that fits engines from '55 to the mid 70s, and the water pump impeller fits engines as large as 6hp from the mid 70s.

Direct drive no neutral is the only down side. Other than that they are a pleasure.
