Verify serial numbers and this could be a good deal. If it is really only a year old it will have all of the desirable oiling features. Also ask about the gimble/transom/ram assemblies, package deal.'sorry forgot to paste link.

Looks like a good deal but don't see that being brand new, because its my understanding that all the new ones are swept back

I don't see an inner transom plate.
Shipping one of these on a pallet is way less expensive than you think.
he sold it on Monday

Yes you will need a raw pump as well. Sick stinger is a good dude. He has given me great deals on parts. Let him know what you are looking for and he will pass the savings along to you. He doesn't try to get rich of everything. For instance he sold me a dry to the tip set of tails and set of cyclones for less than I could buy 1 new tail for. He really is a good guy to deal with from all of my experiences.

You are replacing the motor, correct? The water pump comes with the motor not the drive typically.

Seller says this is a bravo 2 but it sure looks like a bravo one. I can see where the label was and it looks like bravo one. Can anyone confirm?

Yes that's a B1 with a 15.5 inch x 17P prop. B2 props are in the 17 inch and larger diameter

What year? I ask because you want one with an oil reservoir in the transom. The earlier ones did dot have any oil passages from upper to lower and therefore have inferior oiling characters. ][One easy way to tell is if the holes where the lift rams go through the back of the drive are round or oblong. Also if drain plug on bottom side of lower is VERY early, again avoid.
Oblong=newer, good round=old, avoid.
How big of a hurry are you in? What is your price threshold?
This unit does not look very well cared for.

its a 1990 x 600 hrs. Freshwater. With 7.4 I’m thinking I can get it for $3500 or less.
