Older 70hp Evinrude Question

[RoadrashPaul]

I am going to look at this boat in a couple of days. Seller doesn't know exact year model but is guessing somewhere between 79-83ish. Does anyone know? Also I am going to do a compression check on it. Any ideas roughly where the numbers should be? Any and all info, good or bad, will be appreciated. Thanks

It could be a 75 http://rides.webshots.com/phot...knkzT

The serial/model number decal may be a metal plate but either way it will be on the left hand side of the motor mount bracket. Those 70's were good un's.

Thanks Fred. Any idea on compression numbers? What range should it be in?

80-90 all around would be good for that vintage.
