I am looking for a used OMC 70hp inline 3 cylinder. 1986 or newer. Must have good compression and power tilt/trim. Must be within driving distance of Long Island. Thanks, Rich rwfiglia@optonline.net

If you don't find the OMC 70 hp and you can use a larger engine I have a 1995 Yamaha 115 hp. Has trim and tilt, oil tank, controls and gauges no prop. I live in NJ. Don't know what a fair price would be?

that's not for your 13, right? ;)
great pics in your personal page.
i used my 13 and 17 out of Debs(east rockaway) inlet.
that's great waters for the smaller whalers.

No, its for my 86 Montauk. I want to stay away from the v4's because they guzzle gas.

Be careful in your used motor shopping and stay away from an outfit in Pa that makes all sorts of promises and claims that they specialize in rebuiding outboards. They mainly specialize in ripping people off. B......Bird Industries.

"Outboard Service" in Freeport sells used engines, they stand behind them too. I did'nt see any 70's listed though under "Pre-owned" on their web site, worth a phone call though. 516-379-4221
