I have an older (1970-80's?) 18 HP evinrude that I have never used , given to me by my father-in-law. It's not a 1990 or newer but if you change your mind, you might want to look at it. He used it very little but took it it annually for tune-ups.
IF you or anyone else has around an 8hp that you wanna trade or want it cheap, let me know.
