It is an 73 850. believe it or not it has never been apart! :o I had to put a new pickup in the distributor, rewire the engine and a new impeller. and that is it. I have less than $1000 in it including new seats and the paint.

I love those boats. looks like you found a nice one! I had a 4cyl 85hp merc once. Was actually a 73 as well. Nice running motor.
