    Steve D, the 1984 Evinrude/Johnson 9.9/15hp are very good and reliable motors. Good power and smooth trolling. If it checks out ok with compression and spark and the lower unit is ok, then for $150 dollars you go a heck of a deal. That motor can easily fetch $600 to $800 or better. Fisherman are always looking to buy one for main or as a trolling motor for a long trolling times.

    I have a 1984 Evinrude 15hp on my 14ft Aluminum boat and I get about 24mph with me and my fishing stuff and about 20mph with my brother in the boat.

    Just the carburetor alone on eBay goes for $200 to $250 and the lower unit goes for $250 easy. I’m am not telling you to part it out, but to let you know value wise even with a parts motor.

    Good score!
